Le processus de galvanisation existe depuis plus de 250 ans et constitue un pilier de lindustrie nord-américaine depuis les années 1890. La galvanisation est utilisée au sein de divers marchés afin doffrir de lacier doté dune protection inégalée contre les ravages causés par la corrosion. Des clous aux glissières de sécurité et des câbles porteurs du pont de Brooklyn aux atténuateurs de bruit de la plateforme de lancement de la NASA, une gamme étendue de produits sidérurgiques bénéficient des propriétés de protection contre la corrosion offertes par la galvanisation.
Lutilisation de la galvanisation à chaud est en constante évolution et de nouveaux marchés émergent à tous les jours. Comme avec tous les matériaux et revêtements, il y a des applications qui se marient mieux avec dautres types de finis. Dans le but de rencontrer les attentes et les demandes des différents marchés il est important dêtre conscient des meilleurs pratiques de conception pour lacier galvanisé à chaud. Souvent aucun ou seulement de petits ajustements seront nécessaire pour la conception. Ces efforts additionnels aussi petit soit-il peuvent éviter plusieurs maux de tête futur relié à lutilisation de dautre système de protection.
Revised in 2012, this publication provides best design practices as well as information on mechanical properties of hot-dip galvanizing, types of materials suitable for hot-dip galvanizing, combining different materials and surfaces, welding procedures, venting and draining, and more. The guide is 28 pages and contains more than 30 full-color illustrations. (French Version)
