Galvanizing

Coating steel with a thin layer of zinc to increase its corrosion resistance. Most galvanizing is done on a hot dip operation, but electrogalvalizing is becoming more important today. Electrogalvanizing is a cold coating electroplating process that, unlike the hot dip process, does not influence the mechanical properties of the sheet steel. Electrogalvanizing provides a more uniform coating.
