At Rankin Steel & Rigging Pty Ltd, we offer top-notch hot dip galvanising services to protect your steel products from corrosion and enhance their durability. This process involves immersing steel in molten zinc, creating a robust protective coating that ensures resistance to corrosion and environmental damage.
What is Hot Dip Galvanising?
Hot dip galvanising is a method used to coat steel with a layer of zinc by immersing the metal in a bath of molten zinc. This process forms a metallurgical bond between the zinc and steel, offering excellent protection against rust and corrosion.
Benefits of Hot Dip Galvanising
- Corrosion Resistance: The zinc coating acts as a barrier, preventing corrosive substances from reaching the steel. This significantly extends the lifespan of the steel products, even in harsh environments.
- Durability: Hot dip galvanised steel can withstand extreme weather conditions, making it ideal for outdoor applications.
- Maintenance-Free: Galvanised steel requires little to no maintenance, reducing long-term costs and ensuring reliability.
- Cost-Effective: The initial cost of galvanising is lower than other protective coatings, and its long-lasting nature further adds to cost savings.
- Complete Coverage: The galvanising process ensures even coverage of all surfaces, including edges and corners, providing comprehensive protection.
Our Hot Dip Galvanising Process
- Preparation: The steel is cleaned to remove any impurities such as dirt, oil, and rust. This is typically done through a combination of degreasing, pickling, and fluxing.
- Galvanising: The cleaned steel is then immersed in a bath of molten zinc heated to around 450°C. The steel reacts with the zinc, forming a series of zinc-iron alloy layers topped by a layer of pure zinc.
- Cooling: After the steel is coated, it is removed from the zinc bath and allowed to cool. The zinc solidifies, creating a tough, protective layer.
- Inspection: The galvanised steel undergoes a thorough inspection to ensure the coating is uniform and meets quality standards.
