The ISO 1461 hot dip galvanizing process consists of immersing steel parts in a molten zinc bath (approximately 450 ° C) to produce a protective anti-corrosion coating on the steel.
ISO 1461 hot dip galvanizing provides both screen protection (zinc on the surface protects the metal it covers) and sacrificial protection (zinc sacrifices itself to protect steel).
The galvanizing process is based on several steps.
