Galvanized Steel is the process of adding a zinc coating to the surface of steel or iron. Since zinc acts as a sacrificial coating, it protects the underlying steel or iron, thus extending the life of metal components.
Galvanized Steel is a complex process that can be done in a number of ways. Different forms of galvanizing exist, including hot-dip galvanizing and hot-diffusion galvanizing, and these variations have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is helpful to understand the different forms of galvanizing before incorporating it into a prototyping or manufacturing project.
Galvanized Steel metal is more common than you might think. Structures such as building frames, metal benches, balconies, ladders and fire escapes can all be made from galvanized metal to ensure longer life and adequate corrosion and damage protection. Other examples can be found in auto parts and appliances.
In addition, galvanized steel and galvanized iron can be used in different manufacturing processes, from sheet metal processing to CNC machining, making it the dominant process in manufacturing.
