Coating-thickness and surface-condition inspections complete the process. The galvanizing process has existed for more than 250 years and has been a mainstay of North American industry since the 1890s. Galvanizing is used throughout various markets to provide steel with unmatched protection from the ravages of corrosion. A wide range of steel products from nails to highway guardrail to the Brooklyn Bridge’s suspension wires to NASA’s launch pad sound suppression system benefit from galvanizing’s superior corrosion protection properties.
