Galvanizing is Cost-Effective The true cost of protecting steel work from corrosion has to take into consideration two important elements, the initial cost of protection and the lifetime cost. Hot dip galvanizing is often perceived to be more expensive than it is. There are two reasons for this: Firstly, that such a high performance coating is automatically assumed to be expensive. Secondly, the initial cost of galvanizing relative to paint has changed significantly over recent years. Painting costs have steadily increased whilst galvanizing costs have remained stable. Galvanizers Association commissioned independent consultants, The Steel Protection Consultancy Ltd (SPC), to investigate galvanizing prices and the cost competitiveness of galvanizing. SPC in conjunction with consulting engineers, WS Atkins, designed a typical, 240 tonne, steel-framed building and sent it out to tender. Two corrosion protection systems were specified; (i) hot dip galvanizing and (ii) a good quality, grit blast and three coat paint system of 250µm dry film thickness. Quotations from eight fabricators in different parts of the UK were obtained and averaged. The paint system was found to be 35% more expensive than hot dip galvanizing.

Save The Planet. Galvanize. Galvanized steel is all around us and plays a vital role in our everyday lives. It is used in construction, transport, agriculture, power transmission and everywhere that good corrosion protection and long life are essential. It, for instance, helps light our roads (lighting columns) and provide power for our homes, hospitals and offices (high voltage pylons). There are many other important industries that make use of galvanizing. Galvanizing is a corrosion protection process for steel, in which the steel is coated with zinc to prevent it from rusting. The process involves dipping cleaned iron or steel components into molten zinc (which is usually around 450°C). A series of zinc-iron alloy layers are formed by a metallurgical reaction between the iron and zinc creating a strong bond between steel and the coating. 1. Low Life Cycle Energy Galvanizing is energy efficient throughout its production and whole life cycle. 2. Resource Efficient The galvanizing process uses natural resources considerately to ensure a relatively low environmental burden. 3. Recyclable Whether it’s re-galvanizing, removal or reuse, galvanized steel is easily recycled. What’s more, it can also be recycled with steel scrap. 4. Long-life Hot dip galvanizing protects against corrosion and prolongs the life of steel, greatly lowering the environmental and economic cost. 5. Cost Efficient The initial investment of using galvanized steel for long-term protection in construction can provide cost benefits for decades.

Why Are Galvanized Trailers Better Than Painted? A galvanized coating is one of the most durable forms of corrosion protection on the market. An average coating thickness of 85 microns, the same thickness as a sheet of A4 paper, can protect a steel structure for the better part of 100 years. One of the inherent benefits of hot dip galvanizing is that when clean steel that is greater than 6mm thick is submerged into molten zinc, it will develop a minimum mean coating of 85 microns. This coating thickness will meet the corrosion performance required in many applications across the UK and Ireland today. In inland areas across the UK and Ireland, a galvanized coating can weather at less than one micron per year, giving it incredible longevity. Even in coastal environments an 85 micron coating can still deliver a life expectancy of 30 years or more. The photo depicted is a powdered coated trailer showing signs of heavy use/corrosion.

Galvanized Trailers Are Superior Over Painted When spending thousands of dollars on a business investment, would you like to spend thousands each year on paint repairs? Galvanized trailers withstand the harsh elements of the Hawaiian Islands and will withstand countless years without showing signs of rust. A painted trailer within the Hawaiian islands is prone to rust. If a single piece of powder coat is scratched, removed, or broken, flash rust will develop in days if not hours. Save your time, money, and effort. Stop rust. Galvanize it!

Galvanize Costs Less & Lasts Longer Paint coatings are readily understood; however, not all specifiers realize some of the inherent characteristics with a brush or spray-on coating such as: the difficulty applying a consistent coating thickness, particularly on corners and edges, as well as the strict application limits for climate and humidity for the best adhesion results. Also, there are a number of different paint systems available, including one, two, and three coat systems, all of which have differing and specific requirements and performance. Hot-dip galvanized steel is created by immersing fabricated steel into a bath of molten zinc. While in the bath, the iron in the steel reacts with the zinc to form the galvanized coating. The coating grows perpendicular to every surface – meaning corners and edges, as well as interior surfaces, have the same coating thickness as flat areas. Furthermore, the coating is metallurgically bonded to the steel at 3,600 psi (25 MPa), providing great abrasion resistance. A duplex system utilizes a combination of hot-dip galvanizing and either paint or powder coating. The two coatings work in synergy to provide long lasting corrosion protection. Duplex systems are often specified for aesthetic reasons, but using the dual coating also has a synergistic effect – extending the time between maintenance cycles 1.5 to 2 times the length of paint alone on bare steel. The extended maintenance cycles leads to economic savings during the life-cycle.

A VICTORY OVER PAINT for galvanizing Ohio county chooses hot-dip galvanizing for four bridges By ROBERTA DUNLAP Ohio Department of Transportation Paint removal and painting on-site structures have become major headaches for county engineers and all those responsible for bridge maintenance. Federal Environmental Protection Agency regulations for removal and field application of paint will become even more stringent in the future, say Ohio Department of Transportation experts in hazardous waste. John Smolen, county engineer in Ashtabula County, a largely rural area of northeastern Ohio, has eliminated the paint problem by designing and constructing steel bridges that are entirely hot-dipped galvanized. County construction crews completed work on the first of these bridges, a Warren pony truss, in May. The structure is 108 feet long, 24 feet wide and carries Montgomery Road over the Grand River in the southern part of the county. A second, smaller, galvanized bridge will be completed by county workers early this summer. Two more are scheduled for construction this year. Smolen designed all four bridges on a computer-aided design system. Use of the system allowed Smolen to plot on paper the designs for 20 different variations of gusset plates used on the Montgomery Road bridge and their bolt hole locations. The plans could then be cut out with scissors and used as templates. The bridge was assembled to assure proper fit, then was disassembled and sent to Young Galvanizing Inc, Pulaski, PA, for coating. After they were galvanized, the components were returned to the construction site. Galvanizing provides the bridge steel with two facets of corrosion protection that isn’t achieved with a paint system barrier and cathodic protection. This is accomplished by dipping the steel in a molten zinc bath which creates a metallurgical bond between the zinc and the steel. Smolen said that chiding galvanizing for the entire structure of a bridge was a natural progression of past successful experiences in utilizing galvanized bridge components such as floor systems and truss members.
