What are hot-dip galvanizing alloys?

They are special zinc alloys formulated and produced to optimize the hot-dip galvanizing process.

Each component fulfills a specific function: from stabilizing the intermetallic layer to facilitating drainage and surface finishing.

Our alloys improve bath flow, reduce zinc consumption, promote a more uniform and shiny coating, improve drainage, and minimize defects such as spangles, spines, and thick edges.

Available compositions

Alloy Melting point Typical application
Zinc/Antimony Variable Intermetallic layer stabilization
Zinc/Aluminum Variable Improved fluidity and brightness
Zinc/Aluminum/Bismuth Variable Reduction of surface defects
Zinc/Aluminum/Bismuth/Tin Variable Complete bathroom optimization
ℹ️ We also manufacture custom alloys according to the specific requirements of your galvanizing process.

Relevant technical properties

Improved fluidity
Optimize bath flow for uniform coating
Glossy finish
Reduces spangles and improves surface appearance
Lower zinc consumption
Optimize bathroom performance by reducing operating costs.
Intermetallic stability
Each component stabilizes the Fe-Zn layer for greater adhesion

The optimal formulation depends on the specific bath conditions, line speed, and the type of material to be galvanized.

Frequently Asked Technical Questions

Yes. We evaluate your bath conditions (temperature, composition, line speed, current defects) and formulate an alloy optimized for your process.

The alloys optimize the flow and uniformity of the coating, reducing excessive thickness and therefore the total zinc consumption per galvanized piece.

Spangles (crystallization marks), spines, thick edges, lack of luster, and zinc layer adhesion problems. Each alloy component attacks specific defects.

It is supplied in ingots for direct addition to the galvanizing bath. The volume and frequency of addition depend on the operating conditions of your plant.

Do you need specifications for your process?

We support the selection of alloys according to technical requirements and actual application.
