MASKING
-
If certain areas of steelwork need to remain uncoated this can be
achieved by masking, using high temperature tape, grease or paint.
Again, the galvanizer should be consulted about any areas required to
be masked.
CONNECTIONS
-
Galvanized articles can be joined by bolting (including friction grip
connections), welding, riveting and adhesive bonding. Bolted joints are
best made after galvanizing.
HANDLING OF ARTICLES
-
Depending upon size and shape, articles for galvanizing may require suspension holes or lifting lugs. They may alternatively be handled by chains or, for smaller articles, on racks or in baskets. In the case of tanks (in particular, open tanks), cross stays may be necessary to ensure the shape of the vessel is maintained during handling.
