Galvanized Parts
What is galvanizing and how does it improve metal parts?
Galvanizing 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
But galvanizing 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
each have their own unique advantages and disadvantages. Therefore,
it is helpful to understand the different forms of galvanizing
before incorporating it into a prototyping or manufacturing project
Galvanized 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
Galvanized material
The main substrates that can be galvanized are steel and iron.
However, other ferrous metals can also be galvanized
The coating material in galvanizing is always zinc. However, a
similar process to galvanizing is tinning, which replaces tin with
zinc. Tin plating is suitable for simple applications such as food
storage, but is not as reliable as galvanizing: if the coating is
damaged, the tin will attack the iron underneath
Manufactured from galvanized metal
Galvanized material can be widely used as galvanized metal sheet
for sheet metal manufacturing processes such as bending and
stamping, or galvanized metal bars, tubes and bars for processes
such as CNC machining
Galvanized materials tend to be easier to machine because the zinc
coating is softer than the underlying steel
Galvanized metal can also be welded, but zinc emits dangerous
fumes, so proper ventilation is critical. Painting is not
particularly effective on galvanized steel or iron unless the
material is galvanized
