AGA Launches New Mobile Inspection App
The American Galvanizers Association (AGA) continues to move forward with the advancement of technology in order to help the galvanizing community more efficiently receive important information, tools, education as well as to better understand, specify, and utilize hot-dip galvanized steel. After successfully unveiling a new, user friendly, responsive website, the AGA created a comprehensive app to aid in the inspection of hot-dip galvanized steel. |

Q: 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. |
