Initial cost of galvanizing
Hot dip galvanizing is often perceived to be more expensive than it is. There are two reasons for this: Firstly, that such a high performance coating is automatically assumed to be expensive. Secondly, the initial cost of galvanising relative to paint has changed significantly over recent years. Painting costs have steadily increased whilst galvanising costs have remained stable. Galvanizers Association commissioned independent consultants, The Steel Protection Consultancy Ltd (SPC), to inves...
The whole-life cost of a building can be defined as: “The cost of acquiring, operating and maintaining a building over its whole life through to disposal”. Whole-life costing can be characterised as a system that quantifies financial values for buildings from inception and throughout the building’s life. It is an approach that balances capital with...
The overall cost of protecting a steel fabrication throughout its life depends on the cost and durability of the initial coating in the particular environment and, on the costs and frequency of any subsequent treatments where the required life exceeds that of the initial coating. In the majority of applications, hot dip galvanizing will provide a l...
It can be seen that over a 25-year project life the cost of a “cheaper” paint system is almost 70% more than the cost of galvanizing. A “cheaper” paint system is almost 70% more than the cost of galvanizing. Likewise the cost of a more “expensive” paint system is almost double that of galvanized steel. In initial, or first, cost terms hot dip galva...
Galvanizing adds around 7% to the weight but can be higher due to the type of fabrication and steel chemistry. Prices are quoted excluding VAT. Min order value £65 (£78 inc VAT). At Highland we operate a robust quality management system audited annually to comply with ISO 9001. Hot dip galvanizing is a method of protecting steel from ...
Life-cycle cost (LCC) is a more complete analysis because it considers the total cost over the life of the project (initial + maintenance). Because hot-dip galvanized steel requires no maintenance for 70 years or more in most environments, often the initial cost is the life-cycle cost meaning hot-dip galvanized steel is 2-6 times more ...
The steel is then dipped into a bath of molten zinc to galvanise it. The steel is then removed from the bath and inspected to ensure complete coverage. It’s then allowed to air dry. Once dipped, the steel is removed from the hot-dip bath and allowed to dry naturally. As it dries, the zinc forms zinc oxide (ZnO) and zinc carbonate (ZnCO3).
Hot dip galvanizing is the process whereby metal is immersed into a bath of molten zinc at a temperate of 450 °C (842 °F) to give the material a thick, robust outer layer of zinc alloys. On occasion, where an additional coat is required e.g. it is painted at a later stage, the zinc coating will be thinner to ease the application of the ...

Hot-dip galvanizing is the process of coating iron, steel, or aluminum structures with a zinc layer, protecting the base metal from weather damage and providing protection against corrosion. Galvanized steel is widely used in applications where rust resistance is required. The metal is coated in zinc by first passing the metal through a molten ...
