The book systematically covers all steps of the hot-dip galvanization process. The reader finds the basics such as corrosion and zinc film formation as well as the most important aspects of process technology and technical equipment, alongside with contributions on workpiece requirements for optimal galvanization results and on methods for applying additional protective coatings to the galvanized pieces. Separate chapters deal with the important topics of safety at work, environment protection, profitability considerations and quality management.
