  2. Galvanization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanization

    In modern usage, the term "galvanizing" has largely come to be associated with zinc coatings, to the exclusion of other metals. Galvanic paint, a precursor to hot-dip galvanizing , was patented by Stanislas Sorel , of Paris , on June 10, 1837, as an adoption of a term from a highly fashionable field of contemporary science, despite having no ...

  3. Electrogalvanization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrogalvanization

    Electrogalvanizing is a process in which a layer of zinc is bonded to steel to protect against corrosion, enhance adhesion, or give an aesthetic appeal.The process involves electroplating, running a current of electricity through a saline-/zinc-based electrolytic solution with a zinc anode and steel cathode.

  4. Mechanical plating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_plating

    Mechanical plating, also known as peen plating, mechanical deposition, or impact plating, is a plating process that imparts the coating by cold welding fine metal particles to a workpiece.

  5. Wedge Group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedge_Group

    Wedge Group is a British multinational galvanising company which operates several facilities within the United Kingdom. [1] As of 2009 it was the largest galvanising company in the UK, and had wholly-owned operations in the United States and Italy. [1]

  6. Hot-dip galvanization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot-dip_galvanization

    The process of hot-dip galvanizing results in a metallurgical bond between zinc and steel, with a series of distinct iron-zinc alloys. The resulting coated steel can be used in much the same way as uncoated. A typical hot-dip galvanizing line operates as follows: [2] Steel is cleaned using a caustic solution. This removes oil/grease, dirt, and ...

  7. Sherardising - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherardising

    Sherardising is a process of galvanization of ferrous metal surfaces, also called vapour galvanising and dry galvanizing. The process is named after British metallurgist Sherard Osborn Cowper-Coles (son of naval inventor Cowper Phipps Coles ) who invented and patented the method c. 1900.

  8. Galvannealed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvannealed

    Galvannealed or galvanneal (galvannealed steel) is the result from the processes of galvanizing followed by annealing of sheet steel. Galvannealed steel is a matte uniform grey color, which can be easily painted. In comparison to galvanized steel the coating is harder, and more brittle.

  9. Sendzimir process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sendzimir_process

    Galvanized surface. Sendzimir process (named after Tadeusz Sendzimir) is used to galvanize a steel strip by using a small amount of aluminum in the zinc bath and producing a coating with essentially no iron-zinc alloy.
