Before you call

Galvanizing: the short version

Hot dip galvanizing coats steel in molten zinc to protect it from rust.

When you need it

  • Outdoor steel that must not rust
  • Railings, frames or structural steel
  • Your drawing calls for a hot dip zinc coating
  • Hollow steel that needs coating inside too

What to send the shop

  • Drawings with sizes, weight and lifting points
  • Steel grade, thickness and quantity
  • Vent and drain holes on hollow parts
  • Any paint, oil or grease on the steel
  • The coating standard you need, such as ASTM A123

Typical lead time

Red River’s guide, Winnipeg: 2 to 3 days. A Kitchener railing shop adds 3 weeks.

Ask the shop

3 questions worth asking

  1. Q1

    Will my parts fit your kettle and lifting equipment?

  2. Q2

    Where do you want vent and drain holes?

  3. Q3

    What is your minimum charge, and who pays for transport?

Questions

Galvanizing FAQ

Is hot dip galvanizing the same as zinc plating?

No. Hot dip galvanizing dips steel in molten zinc. Zinc plating uses electricity to lay zinc on the part. Ask which one your drawing calls for.

Is cold galvanizing paint the same thing?

No. Cold galvanizing is a paint rich in zinc. Hot dip galvanizing dips the steel itself in molten zinc.

How long does it last?

Corbec gives 75 to 100 years in a normal environment. Ask the plant about your own conditions.

Can I send sealed tubes?

No. Sealed pipe or tube can explode in the zinc bath. Agree on vent and drain holes with the plant before you build.

Plants and their kettles

The kettle is the zinc bath, so your part has to fit it. Canadian Galvanizing in Edmonton dips long parts twice: ask your plant.

Before you deliver

  • Silver City in Delta can't clean off welding slag, oil-based paint, wax, epoxy or heavy grease. Ask your plant, and remove them first.
  • Put vent holes at the highest point and drain holes at the lowest.

What it costs

None of the plants we checked posts a price online. Send your drawing for a quote, and ask about the minimum charge and transport.
