Go With Galvanizing

The AGA Launches New Transportation Solution Microsite

The American Galvanizers Association has launched its third microsite, GOwithGalvanizing.com. This in-depth site examines the advantages, cost, sustainability, and durability of hot-dip galvanized steel in the transportation industry. The site is a comprehensive resource for anyone wishing to study the use of galvanized steel in bridges, highways, or airports, or commercial freight and passenger rail.

America is a nation on the go. Whether traveling across bridges and highways, moving along train tracks, or flying the friendly skies, we are constantly on the move, and the country allocates billions of dollars to support this transportation infrastructure system.

Why are zinc and steel deliberately in contact in a hot-dip galvanized system if having dissimilar metals in contact is not recommended?

The concern with having dissimilar metals in contact is the anodic metal will be consumed when electrons transfer from that material to the cathodic metal when there is a corrosion cell. This is considered galvanic corrosion, and over time it depletes the anodic metal. The hot-dip galvanized coating uses this property advantageously to protect the underlying steel.
