POST-TREATMENTS FOR GALVANIZING
-
No post-treatment of galvanized articles is necessary. Paint or a powder coating may be applied for enhanced aesthetics or for additional protection where the environment is extremely aggressive. Chemical conversion coatings and other barrier systems may be applied to minimise the occurrence of wet storage stain.
SIZE OF ARTICLES FOR GALVANIZING
-
Galvanizing is a versatile process and articles ranging in size from nuts and bolts to long structural sections can be treated. This range, together with the ability to bolt or weld fabrications after galvanizing, allows almost any size of structure to be galvanized. |
 |
Complex shapes, open vessels and most hollow articles can be galvanized, inside and out, in one operation. Certain hollow fabrications may be galvanized on the outside surface only, however, this requires special designs and galvanizing techniques. The capacity of individual galvanizing plants is detailed in the Directory of General Galvanizers, available free of charge from Galvanizers Association.
