HOT-DIP GALVANIZING PROCEDURE
PROCEDURE )OR GALVANIZING + STEEL 1. SCOPE: This procedure deals with the galvanizing procedure of hot-dip galvanizing of iron & steel. RE)ERENCE : ASTM A123-2001 ASTM A1!3 ASTM A1"3 ASTM #$ SS%& S%1 & S%11 PROCEDURE : 3.1 P,e-a,a./o0 of Me.a1 23,fa4e fo, Ga15a0/6/0g. 3.1.1 C1ea0/0g: 'e(oving of &onta(ination li)e oil* grease or paint over the surface to +e galvanized. &leaning carried out +, dipping the wor) in degreasing +ath and should +e raised and lowered in order to allow degreasing solution to enter inaccessi+le areas. Then i((ediatel, after degreasing the wor) should +e rinsed in hot water -$00&. followed +, finding rinsing in cold running water. 3.1.2 P/471/0g: 'e(oval of scale* patches and +urnt-on on the surface to +e galvanized +, dipping the wor) in pic)ling +ath -/iluted h,drochloric acid or sulphuric acid. with suita+le inhi+itor. 3.1.3 R/02/0g: After pic)ling the wor) should +e thoroughl, rinsed in running water. 3.1.4 )138/0g: 0or) is dipped in a strong solution of zinc a((oniu( chloride. 1ote2 %re flu3ed & dried wor) should +e galvanized without dela, i.e. within an hour of flu3ing *.# Ga15a0/6/0g: 3.2.1 Ga15a0/6/0g 9a.:2 4alvanizing +ath should contain not less than an average of 56.07 zinc +, weight. The zinc used in the +ath should confor( to Specification #$ -Sla+ zinc.. Te(perature of the +ath is so critical to have consistenc, in product 8ualit, & to econo(icall, use zinc. 'ate of i((ersion is as rapid as possi+le to reduce a(ount of dross & to have unifor(it, of coating. 3.3 ;a.e, Q3e04:/0g: To re(ove flu3 residues* wor) is 8uenched in water.
