What is galvanized metal? Galvanization is the leading method to protect metals, usually steel and iron, from environmental elements that cause corrosion, rust, and the eventual weakening of the steel. Galvanizing involves bonding a protective zinc metal coating to a thicker metal base. 1, record 2, English, - galvanized%20metal

During the process of galvanizing, steel is dipped in a bath of liquid tin to increase its resistance to oxidation and moisture. After galvanizing, a precise heat treatment allows control of the mechanical properties of the final galvanized steel.

L'opération de galvannealing consiste à réchauffer la bande recouverte d'un film de zinc liquide après passage dans un bain, de manière à provoquer une diffusion du fer dans le zinc. Lorsque le fer affleure en surface, la bande revêtue prend un aspect mat particulièrement bien approprié à recevoir la couche finale de peinture. Le revêtement galvannealed est caractérisé par trois points forts : une très bonne résistance à la corrosion; un comportement excellent lors du soudage par points; une belle apparence après peinture. 3, record 7, French, - galvannealing
