Hot dip galvanization is an important passivation process in which steel is coated with a thin zinc layer thereby protecting it from harmful environments that lead to corrosion.
209-076-045
Nickel alloys are used in demanding environments that require high-performance materials; harsh corrosive environments with high temperatures are considered the norm.
