Types of Galvanizing Services
Hot Dip Galvanizing
Hot dip galvanizing is a process where metal components are immersed in a bath of molten zinc. At Zemetal, this technique forms a thick, protective zinc coating that is highly resistant to corrosion. Ideal for structural steel and outdoor applications, hot dip galvanizing creates a durable and long-lasting barrier, effectively protecting the metal from harsh environmental conditions.
Zinc Electroplating
Zinc electroplating involves the application of a zinc coating to a metal surface using an electrical current. This method offers a thinner coating compared to hot dip galvanizing and is typically used for smaller, precision components. The process can be customized with various post-treatment options, like chromate conversion coatings, to enhance the appearance and durability of the finish.
Welding Galvanized Steel MIG
Welding galvanized steel with Metal Inert Gas requires careful technique to maintain the integrity of the zinc coating while achieving strong welds. This method is particularly challenging due to the high melting point of steel compared to zinc. Appropriate ventilation and temperature control are crucial to prevent the zinc from vaporizing and to ensure the weld area is free from zinc contamination, which can lead to weld porosity.
Cold Dip Galvanizing
Cold dip galvanizing, or cold galvanizing, involves applying a zinc-rich paint or coating to the metal surface. This method is often used for spot repairs on previously galvanized steel or in situations where hot dip galvanizing is impractical. While not as durable as hot dip galvanizing, cold galvanizing is flexible and can be applied on-site, offering a convenient solution for maintenance and repair work.
Bright Zinc Plating
Bright zinc plating is a variation of zinc electroplating that results in a glossy, decorative finish. This process is particularly popular in the automotive and consumer goods industries, where the visual aspect of metal components is important. In addition to its aesthetic appeal, bright zinc plating provides a moderate level of corrosion protection and can be further enhanced with various sealants or passivation treatments.
Trivalent Zinc Plating
Trivalent zinc plating is an eco-friendlier alternative to traditional zinc plating methods. It utilizes trivalent chromium in place of hexavalent chromium, reducing environmental and health hazards. This method offers effective corrosion resistance and is becoming increasingly popular in industries where environmental regulations are stringent.
Barrel Zinc Plating
Barrel zinc plating is an efficient method for galvanizing large quantities of small parts. In this process, parts are placed in a rotating barrel, which tumbles them in a zinc solution, ensuring even coverage and a consistent finish. This method is cost-effective and ideal for fasteners, nails, and small components, where individual treatment would be impractical and expensive.
Alkaline Zinc Plating
Alkaline zinc plating is distinguished by its use of an alkaline electrolyte solution, as opposed to the acidic solutions used in other plating processes. This method is particularly effective for coating complex geometries and internal surfaces, providing a smooth and uniform finish. Alkaline zinc plating is ideal for intricate parts where coverage in hard-to-reach areas is crucial for overall performance and longevity.
Zinc Plating Anode
In the zinc plating anode process, a zinc anode is used in the electroplating bath. The anode plays a crucial role, as it gradually dissolves in the electrolyte solution and deposits zinc onto the cathodic metal part. This method ensures a consistent and high-quality zinc coating. The choice of anode material and its maintenance are critical factors in achieving the desired plating quality and efficiency.
Applicable Materials for Galvanizing Services
Steel and Iron
Steel and iron are the most commonly galvanized materials. Their inherent strength and durability make them ideal for a wide range of applications, from construction to automotive parts. Galvanizing enhances their resistance to rust and corrosion, significantly extending their lifespan. The resulting zinc coating bonds with steel or iron, forming a series of zinc-iron alloy layers topped with a pure zinc outer layer.
Â
Alloy Steels
Alloy steels, which are steels mixed with other elements to improve certain characteristics like strength or resistance to wear, can also be galvanized. However, the galvanizing process for alloy steels requires careful consideration of the alloying elements. Zemetal recognizes that some alloys may need specific pre-treatment or altered galvanizing procedures to ensure proper adhesion and coating quality.
Â
Cast Iron
Galvanizing cast iron, including ductile and malleable iron, is less common but still practiced for specific applications. Cast iron presents unique challenges for galvanizing due to its high carbon content, which can lead to the formation of graphite on the surface during the process. To mitigate this, special pre-treatment processes, such as abrasive blasting, are employed to prepare the cast iron surface for galvanizing.

Features and Benefits of Galvanizing Services
Features of Galvanizing Services
Corrosion Resistance
One of the most significant benefits of galvanizing is its superior corrosion resistance. The zinc coating acts as a physical barrier, protecting the underlying metal from environmental factors like moisture and pollutants. This barrier significantly reduces the rate of corrosion, effectively prolonging the lifespan of the metal components.
Â
Self-Healing Properties
A unique feature of the zinc coating is its self-healing properties. For instance, if the galvanized surface is scratched or damaged, exposing the base metal, the surrounding zinc reacts with the environment to form a protective layer of zinc carbonate over the exposed area. This process helps prevent rust in the damaged spot, maintaining the integrity of the overall protective layer.
Â
Benefits of Galvanizing Services
Reduced Maintenance and Replacement Costs
At Zemetal, the galvanizing services significantly reduce maintenance and replacement costs over the lifetime of a product.
