causes of metal corrosion
methods of corrosion protection
hot dip galvanising
coating the surface of the steel with a corrosion-resistant metal
surface preparation
rust, scale, oil and other surface contaminants are carefully removed from steelworks by pickling in dilute sulfuric acid
fluxing
flux dissolves and absorbs any remaining impurities, moisture or oxide film on the metal surface and ensures that clean steel contacts the molten zinc the moment it enters the bath
galvanising process
anticorrosion paint and coating success factors
inspection and testing of galvanised coatings
pick out superficial defects and provide information about faults in the process
