Hot-dip galvanizing is a process used to protect steel and iron from rust and corrosion. It involves immersing the metal in a bath of molten zinc, which coats the surface. This zinc layer acts as a barrier, preventing moisture and oxygen from reaching the underlying metal.
The process begins with cleaning the metal to remove any dirt, oil, or rust. After cleaning, the metal is dipped into the molten zinc, where it forms a strong bond. The result is a durable, long-lasting finish that can extend the life of metal structures, making it popular in construction and manufacturing.
