The American Galvanizers Association has developed and released the Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel Coating Appearance 5-part video series. This series follows steel samples throughout fabrication and hot-dip galvanizing to show variations in coating appearance and distinctly highlights the causes.
Many factors that impact the appearance of hot-dip galvanized steel, are outside the galvanizer’s control. The goal of this video series is to help specifiers understand what aspects impact the appearance of hot-dip galvanized steel and best practices for steel selection and fabrication techniques that optimize hot-dip galvanized steel’s appearance.
- Part 1 – Introduction to Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel Coating Appearance
- Part 2 – The Impact of Steel Chemistry, Cooling Rates, and Steel Processing
- Part 3 – Influence of Welding Techniques
- Part 4 – Process Marks & Inclusions
- Part 5 – Post Galvanizing Considerations
This video series is also available on the AGA YouTube Channel.
