Galvanizing refers to the process of addition of a coating on the base metal so as to increase its durability and efficiency. This is the reason as to why galvanizing has emerged to be so much popular. Generally, a coating of zinc is applied on stainless steel for the purpose of enhancing its durability as well as efficiency and hence a preferred process. Now the process of galvanization is categorized into the following.<\/p>\r\n

    \r\n
  1. Hot dip galvanizing<\/li>\r\n
  2. Cold galvanizing<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

    Both of the processes are different from each other but the main motive applying a coat to the base metal remains the same. In order to get a clear idea about the differences between the processes, please read through.<\/p>\r\n

    Some of the major differences between hot dip galvanizing and cold galvanizing are as discussed below.<\/p>\r\n

    Plating Differences<\/span> <\/strong><\/h3>\r\n

    Hot dip galvanizing involves dipping of the prepared base metal into molten zinc for the formation of a layer of zinc coating on the base metal. This hot dip galvanizing prevents the base metal from being corroded and the coating of zinc adheres strongly to the base metal.<\/p>\r\n

    Now, in case of cold galvanizing or also referred to as plating where the zinc salt solution by electrolysis is plated on to the metal which usually does not involve heating of any kinds. Moreover, the wet environment causes the coating to fall off very easily.<\/p>\r\n
