Submit your Best Projects to the 2014 Excellence in
Hot-Dip Galvanizing Awards
The American Galvanizers Association (AGA) is seeking the best hot-dip galvanized steel projects of 2013. The 2014 Call for Entries is extended to any party involved with an after-fabrication hot-dip galvanized steel project completed in 2013. Each year, the Excellence in Hot-Dip Galvanizing Awards recognize the special skill and efforts of galvanizers, fabricators, architects, engineers, contractors, and all other parties in their use of hot-dip galvanizing in an innovative, ideal, creative, monumental, or otherwise impressive fashion.

What considerations should I keep in mind when designing steel fabrications to be galvanized?
A: As the name implies, steel is dipped into a bath of molten zinc during the hot-dip galvanizing process. While the process is inherently simple, hot-dip galvanizing is different than painting or other corrosion protection coating systems, and therefore presents unique requirements during the design stage in order to ensure a high quality zinc coating. ASTM A385, Standard Practice for Providing High-Quality Zinc Coatings (Hot-Dip), specifies design recommendations that should be followed when fabricating steel to be galvanized. There are too many recommendations to be discussed in this issue, so they will be broken up and presented as a series continuing into later issues. In this, the third part of the series, we will be discussing the need for overtapping hot-dip galvanized nuts.
