Long-Lasting Performance with Hot-Dip Galvanizing

Achieving long-lasting performance with hot-dip galvanizing is one of the most essential ways to ensure safety and durability in steel structures. The galvanizing process is carried out by immersing steel surfaces in a bath of molten zinc, providing the products with high resistance against corrosion. For infrastructure elements exposed to outdoor conditions, hot-dip galvanizing is an indispensable solution to maintain functionality for many years.

The Function of Galvanized Coating

While steel structures stand out for their durability, exposure to moisture and oxygen in the environment eventually leads to rusting. Hot-dip galvanizing creates a uniform layer of zinc on the steel surface, preventing this process. Since zinc is a more active metal than steel, it provides galvanic protection even when the surface is damaged. This feature prevents the steel from corroding and contributes to preserving its structural integrity.

Standards Applied in the Production Process

Galvanizing is not limited to simply dipping steel into a zinc bath. Every step of the process directly affects quality. First, oil and dirt on the surface are removed, then the oxidized layers are cleaned chemically. Afterward, a flux bath is applied to facilitate bonding between steel and zinc. In the final stage, steel components are immersed in molten zinc, creating a protective coating across every surface. In ÇEPAŞ production, galvanizing is carried out in compliance with the TS EN ISO 1461 standard, and the thickness, uniformity, and adhesion of the coating are meticulously controlled.

Durability and Maintenance Advantage

Steel elements coated with hot-dip galvanizing are not only highly resistant but also long-lasting. Their need for maintenance is minimized because the galvanized layer creates a continuous barrier against environmental factors. Especially in critical areas such as power transmission lines, telecommunication towers, and road safety systems, the use of galvanized products reduces maintenance costs and ensures long-term protection of the investment.

Contribution to Sustainability

Galvanized coating provides advantages not only in durability but also in terms of sustainability. Longer-lasting products mean less raw material consumption and lower maintenance requirements. This contributes to conserving natural resources while reducing operational costs. Additionally, the zinc used in galvanizing is fully recyclable, making it an environmentally friendly solution.
