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.

This video series is also available on the AGA YouTube Channel.

For further information, please contact AGA Senior Marketing Coordinator Jeff Cunningham.
