Hot-Dip Galvanizing Explained: How It Protects Steel

As described by The Engineering Choice in the article “What Is Galvanization? – Definition, Methods, Process | Galvanizing”, galvanization is a crucial process that enhances the durability and corrosion resistance of steel and iron. Though it doesn’t alter a material’s structural properties, it significantly extends its lifespan, making it ideal for construction, infrastructure, and industrial applications.

What Is Galvanization?
Galvanization, or galvanizing, refers to the process of applying a protective zinc coating to steel or iron to prevent rust and surface degradation. This zinc layer shields the base metal from environmental elements such as moisture and oxygen, both of which accelerate corrosion. The most common method used in the industry is hot-dip galvanizing.
