Strip galvanizing

Strip galvanizing is a process for galvanizing cold-rolled wide strip or narrow strip, which is carried out either by hot-dip galvanizing using the Sendzimir process or by electrolytic strip galvanizing. In hot-dip galvanizing, the steel strip is passed through a zinc bath in a continuous process, whereby a protective layer of zinc is applied to the material. This process, also known as the Sendzimir process, offers robust corrosion protection and is often used in the construction and automotive industries.

In contrast, electrolytic strip galvanizing is a galvanic process in which the steel strip is passed through an electrolysis bath. In this process, zinc is deposited on the strip by electrical voltage, which enables a controlled and uniform coating. Both methods offer effective corrosion protection, with the choice of process depending on the specific requirements of the application and the desired properties of the end product.
