Galvanizing is the process of coating metal surfaces using zinc, making them more resistant to corrosion. Check out our detailed blog articles that provide an in-depth explanation of the hot-dip galvanizing process and its benefits.
There are many reasons you might find yourself asking if you can weld galvanized steel. Whether or not you can, though, is only part of the question. Sometimes large pieces need to be welded before they can be galvanized. Other times, you have extra galvanized materials left over and want to use them instead of […]
When it comes to galvanizing steel, there are a few different ways to do it. While each method has its own practical uses, we still believe that hot-dip galvanizing is the best choice for ultimate corrosion protection. The main reason for this is that there is a big difference between hot dip galvanized and galvanized materials. […]
Prioritizing sustainable practices in all areas of industry is becoming everyone’s top priority. It is crucial to preserving our planet for future generations. It is also an essential part of making sure materials remain available. Galvanizing is one process with a low environmental impact that offers long-lasting protection for steel. In fact, sustainability has always […]
Galvanized materials boast superior durability and corrosion resistance, making them the preferred option for construction projects. The superpower qualities of the materials come from their protective zinc coating. This coating performs best when it encases steel, as the two substances form a mutually beneficial bond. The thickness of the coating on hot-dip galvanized materials is […]
When grounding electricity on your job site, you have a few types of grounding rods to consider. Two of the most popular options are copper grounding rod or galvanized grounding rod. At Southern Grounding, we offer both because we believe each has its advantages. But how do you know which is best for your project? […]
The impressive lifespan and durability of galvanized steel are responsible for its popularity. After shedding its brief experimental label in the early 1980s, the United States saw a resurgence of its use. Over time, galvanized steel has become a required standard for projects across the country. Here’s a quick overview of the lifespan of galvanized […]
Galvanized rebar has become the steel of choice for construction and transportation projects. The superiority of galvanized rebar has led to an increased interest in hot-dip galvanized services. Just as galvanizing rebar makes it stronger and more resilient, the same is true of other steel materials. Whether it’s uncoated rebar that you want to reinforce or […]
