AZZ plays a critical role in the renewable market
Hot-dip galvanizing protects the integrity of steel exposed continuously to the elements for a lifetime of maintenance-free protection against corrosion.
How Hot-Dip Galvanizing Works
Let’s take a look at the galvanizing process from start to finish.
Design Considerations for Galvanizing: Dissimilar Metals in Contact
When two different metals are in contact in a corrosive environment, one of the metals experiences accelerated galvanic corrosion while the other metal remains galvanically protected.
Design Considerations for Hot-Dip Galvanizing: Dissimilar Steel Chemistries
It is important to understand that the chemical composition of the material being galvanized can affect coating characteristics. However, corrosion protection typically is not affected by these coating characteristic differences.
AGA Awards: The Flying Ox
Adventure Park, located in Pigeon Forge near East Tennessee, is inspired by lumberjacks and the local logging industry. The park has many family friendly attractions like obstacle courses, competitions, a treetop free fall and rides. The Flying Ox is the world’s first cable-to-rail zip line roller coaster. At 1,000 feet long and 80 feet high, the Flying Ox dominates the landscape of Lumberjack Square.
AGA Awards: Large Livestock Trailer
Livestock trailers are necessary in the agriculture and livestock industry. They are used daily to transport animals and can suffer considerable damage from overuse and harsh elements if not properly protected.
Design Considerations for Hot-dip Galvanizing: Cold Worked Steels
Any form of cold-working reduces steel’s ductility. Operations such as punching holes, notching, producing fillets of small radii, shearing, or sharp bending may lead to strain-age embrittlement of susceptible steels.
Design Considerations for Hot-Dip Galvanizing: Bend Diameters
Corrosion protection begins at the drawing board, and regardless of what protection system is specified, it must be factored into the product’s design.
AGA Awards: Grainland Cooperative
Grainland Cooperative in Eureka, IL experienced a massive explosion on the morning of July 30th, 2018. A corn dryer caught on fire, and the farmers feared that the upcoming harvest would be compromised. Grainland employs 200+ farmers and yields an annual average of six million bushels of corn.
