Surface Preparation for Hot-Dip Galvanizing

Initially, the steel is inspected to ensure it has adequate vents and drain holes. Once we have verified the steel is equipped with proper drainage, it endures a variety of different chemical baths to rid it of any contaminates or impurities that could disrupt the hot dip galvanizing.
