Seminar - Hot-dip galvanizing: technical and performance aspects
This seminar covers all technical galvanization-related aspects, while providing participants with a comprehensive understanding of treatment and design objectives and methods.
Seminar objectives
At the end of this seminar, the participant will be able to:
- Recognize the corrosion problem that America faces and analyze the type of environment in which steel will be installed
- Understand the hot-dip galvanizing process
- Incorporate proper corrosion protection in the design of steel products, which in turn significantly reduces maintenance costs
- Learn the key elements of designing steel structure parts compatible with hot-dip galvanizing
- Select steel that is compatible with hot-dip galvanizing
- Understand the limitations of the hot-dip galvanizing process
