The credit for the invention of galvanization goes to Stanislas Sores.
Galvanized steel can live up to almost 170 years! Free from corrosion
Galvanized steel is waterproof and prevents water damage well.

Like any other metal in the universe, cars are susceptible to corrosion or rusting. Corrosion refers to the metal surface’s oxidizing process that leads to its deterioration and eventual disintegration. It is extremely important to prevent car parts from getting damaged due to corrosion. One of the best ways to prevent corrosion is by galvanization. Let us look at what galvanization is and find out the advantages of galvanizing the…

Pressure vessels are the names given to closed containers that house gases or liquids at a significantly different pressure to ambient pressure. Given that safety and reliability are two key factors in the utility of pressure vessels, their production process is tightly controlled and the products are often tested for quality.

A range of materials can be used to fabricate pressure vessels, including pressure vessel steel. Pressure vessel steel, as the name suggests, is specifically designed and engineered to meet the stringent regulations regarding the manufacture of pressure vessels.

What Does Galvanized Steel Mean?
Galvanized steel is a type of steel that has been galvanized by the application of a zinc coating throughout its body so that it can be protected from corroding or rusting. Galvanized steel has a longer life and durability compared to non-galvanized steel. The application process of zinc on a steel structure is called “galvanization.” This process was first invented and developed in France and England in 1837, in which a sheet of steel was dipped in a molten zinc bath (a method called “hot…

Light steel frame building (LSFB) is not the same as prefabricated or ‘kit’ buildings, as it is rather a building method. Another term is ‘off-site’ construction, due to the fact that a lot of the manufacturing takes place in factories, whereafter the components are transported and assembled on-site. LSFB consists of structured wall panels, trusses and floor joists that are assembled using cold-formed steel sections, which in turn are made from thin-gauge high-strength continuously galvanized steel sheet.

Hot-dip galvanized substrate is produced on continuous zinc coating lines from either cold-rolled (thickness range 0.27 mm to < 2.0 mm) or hot-rolled...

The Principle of Galvanic Protection of Steel
Various methods are available to protect steel from corrosion. One of the most elegant of these is the use of zinc. Zinc lies below steel in the galvanic series and therefore will corrode preferentially to steel, offering “galvanic protection”.

When galvanic protection is in operation, gaps in the zinc layer do not result in loss of steel but instead accelerate the corrosion rate of zinc. The conditions that need to be met to achieve galvanic protection are:

the steel has to be electrically…

How important is sheet and plate steel flatness?

sheet and plate steel flatness,
Leave a comment

Steel has the tendency to cling to its original shape and molecular composition. Why? Because it was given a unique configuration when it was rolled, cooled, and coiled at the steel mill.

In its natural state, steel is not at all flat. In fact, a hot-rolled sheet coil generally reveals some or all symptoms of poor flatness (see Figure 1).

For example, 72-inch-wide material with a 100,000-PSI yield strength can have a crossbow of 2 to 12 in., wavy edges, and excessive crown. These shape imperfections must be removed to produce…

Although expensive, metals are the most durable material used for cladding in residential and commercial construction. Some are commonly used throughout all of manufacturing and construction, such as the ferrous metals, whereas others usually have specific niches, such as titanium and red metals.

Galvanized Steel
Because it’s abundant and not very expensive, iron is among the most commonly used metals for industrial purposes. Just a small amount of carbon and a few other elements turn it into steel, a family of metals with an abundance of favorable characteristics. Regrettably, the iron…
