Production and advantages of edge-galvanized steel strip

Galvanized steel strip is produced by hot-dip galvanizing or electrogalvanizing. In hot-dip galvanizing, the steel is passed through a molten zinc bath. This creates a protective zinc coating. Electrogalvanizing, on the other hand, uses electrochemical processes. This makes it possible to apply thinner layers of zinc or to vary the thickness of the zinc layer. […]

Current situation in the steel industry
