Fences are a staple in many aspects of society and particularly in agriculture, where they’re tasked with the protection of livestock and vulnerable crops or equipment. However, they’re not invincible. Wood rots, steel rusts, and stone cracks.
With proper consideration and understanding of how the hot-dip galvanizing process affects steel, asymmetrical designs or structures containing sections of unequal thickness can be successfully galvanized, as can fabrications where cold-working techniques (bending, hole-punching, rolling, shearing) are employed.
Hot-dip galvanizing protects the integrity of steel exposed continuously to the elements for a lifetime of maintenance-free protection against corrosion.
Let’s take a look at the galvanizing process from start to finish.
When two different metals are in contact in a corrosive environment, one of the metals experiences accelerated galvanic corrosion while the other metal remains galvanically protected.
It is important to understand that the chemical composition of the material being galvanized can affect coating characteristics. However, corrosion protection typically is not affected by these coating characteristic differences.
Adventure Park, located in Pigeon Forge near East Tennessee, is inspired by lumberjacks and the local logging industry. The park has many family friendly attractions like obstacle courses, competitions, a treetop free fall and rides. The Flying Ox is the world’s first cable-to-rail zip line roller coaster. At 1,000 feet long and 80 feet high, the Flying Ox dominates the landscape of Lumberjack Square.
Livestock trailers are necessary in the agriculture and livestock industry. They are used daily to transport animals and can suffer considerable damage from overuse and harsh elements if not properly protected.
Any form of cold-working reduces steel’s ductility. Operations such as punching holes, notching, producing fillets of small radii, shearing, or sharp bending may lead to strain-age embrittlement of susceptible steels.
Corrosion protection begins at the drawing board, and regardless of what protection system is specified, it must be factored into the product’s design.
Grainland Cooperative in Eureka, IL experienced a massive explosion on the morning of July 30th, 2018. A corn dryer caught on fire, and the farmers feared that the upcoming harvest would be compromised. Grainland employs 200+ farmers and yields an annual average of six million bushels of corn.
