- [Stop Rust](https://galvanizing.org.uk/stop-rust/): Our campaign aims to highlight the extensive amount of corroding steelwork across the UK and Ireland.
- [Rust prevention](https://galvanizing.org.uk/rust-prevention/): Rust prevention is important for steel structures, as without it, steel will rust over time, depending on the atmospheric conditions of the environment where the structure is used.
- [Salt spray test](https://galvanizing.org.uk/salt-spray-test/): The use of salt spray test results to guide selection of protective coatings for steel remains a serious problem in the engineering community. Despite the well understood limitations of the test in the ‘corrosion world’, it is still used to promote the use of coatings whose properties happen to produce apparently favourable results.
- [Terms and Conditions](https://galvanizing.org.uk/terms-and-conditions/): Care has been taken to ensure the contents of this website are accurate, but Galvanizers Association does not accept responsibility for errors or for information which is found to be misleading. Suggestions for, or the end use or application of, galvanized products are for information only.

- [Cathodic protection](https://galvanizing.org.uk/cathodic-protection/): In any anti-corrosion process care must be taken to ensure that the system has no weak points and the adage “A chain is only as strong as its weakest link” applies. One area which can be problematical is that of minor blemishes (such as scratches) that can arise during handling, transport or assembly of coated steel components.
- [Why zinc is sustainable](https://galvanizing.org.uk/sustainable-construction/zinc-is-sustainable/): One of zinc’s most important characteristics is its ability to protect steel against corrosion. The life and durability of steel are greatly improved when coated with zinc. No other material can provide such efficient and cost-effective protection for steel.

- [Why zinc is sustainable](https://galvanizing.org.uk/sustainable-construction/why-zinc-is-sustainable/)
- [Galvanizing for Healthy Buildings](https://galvanizing.org.uk/sustainable-construction/healthy-buildings/): The average person spends just 8% of their time outside, with 92% of time spent indoors. Good indoor air quality is therefore vital to control health risks and maintain productivity in the workplace.
- [Decarbonisation of Steel Production](https://galvanizing.org.uk/sustainable-construction/sustainable-steel/): Steelmakers are setting ambitious targets for CO2 reduction and investing in transformational projects. The World Steel Association brings together the world’s leading steelmakers and advocates a 3-track approach that will not only reduce CO2 emissions but will also help create a more sustainable operation of the global economy:
- [Zinc facts](https://galvanizing.org.uk/sustainable-construction/zinc-facts/): Zinc is essential for human health and vital for a healthy immune system
- [Reducing Carbon Footprint by Avoiding Maintenance](https://galvanizing.org.uk/sustainable-construction/reduce-carbon-footprint/): A circular economy tackles the issue of finite resources by considering all raw materials as valuable assets and using them sparingly. As a durable method of corrosion protection, a galvanized coating reduces the whole life carbon footprint of buildings and components through avoidance of maintenance.
- [Performance in other environments](https://galvanizing.org.uk/atmospheric-corrosion/corrosion-performance-in-other-environments/): A common misconception is that corrosion may not be a problem for interior steelwork which is protected from the elements. If there is frequent condensation on its surface, corrosion of inadequately protected steel will be significant. Under these conditions, hot dip galvanizing may give more than 40 years life. Hot dip galvanizing has also been used extensively to protect interior steelwork in harsh environments such as swimming pools and food processing plants. Corrosion may also arise on exposed ungalvanized steelwork intended for interior environments if there is a delay in assembly or construction.
- [Atmospheric corrosion resistance](https://galvanizing.org.uk/atmospheric-corrosion/): The resistance of a galvanized coating to atmospheric corrosion depends on a protective film which forms on the surface of the zinc. When the steel is withdrawn from the galvanizing bath, the zinc has a clean, bright, shiny surface. With time this changes to a dull grey patina as the surface reacts with oxygen, water and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
- [Joining galvanized steel](https://galvanizing.org.uk/joining-galvanized-steel/): An unavoidable consequence of the practicalities of working on site and delivery of work to site is that it will involve the requirement for connecting different features of steelwork.
- [Surface contamination](https://galvanizing.org.uk/design-for-galvanizing/surface-contamination/): Clean steel surfaces are an essential requirement for good hot dip galvanizing. Contamination in the form of grease, tar, paint and weld slag cannot be removed by chemical cleaning and may result in black bare spots after hot dip galvanizing. Specifiers should ensure that the fabricator takes responsibility for articles being delivered free from contamination.
- [Base metals and combinations](https://galvanizing.org.uk/design-for-galvanizing/base-metals-and-combinations/): A fabrication consisting of a variety of materials with different surface conditions should be avoided, as this could affect the uniformity and appearance of the coating. Where differing materials are used, grit blasting the entire assembly can minimise any differences which may arise due to differing effects of pre-treatment. Preferably, the fabrication should be of similar steel type throughout.
- [Painting and powder coating](https://galvanizing.org.uk/painting-and-powder-coating/): it is relatively easy to apply organic coatings on top of galvanized steel. These are often referred to as duplex systems.
- [Distortion](https://galvanizing.org.uk/design-for-galvanizing/distortion/): If steel fabrications distort during galvanizing, this is usually due to ‘built-in’ stresses being released, as the steel is heated to the galvanizing temperature. Stresses may be inherent in the steel, but they can also be introduced by welding, cold forming and hole punching.
- [Design detailing](https://galvanizing.org.uk/design-for-galvanizing/design-detailing/): When designing a structure which is to be hot dip galvanized, it must be borne in mind that articles are immersed into and withdrawn from a bath containing molten zinc heated to a temperature of 450ºC.
- [Specify for small components](https://galvanizing.org.uk/specify-small-components/): Small articles may be galvanized by a variation on the standard hot dip galvanizing process and is known as ‘Centrifuge (or spin)Galvanizing’.
- [Flexible Workspace](https://galvanizing.org.uk/steel-structures/flexible-workspace/): Innovative and dynamic, Bradbury Works introduces revolutionary flexible workspace solutions, transforming conventional offices into adaptable environments. Embracing change as its core philosophy, this Dalston-based project redefines workspaces, offering versatility and creativity.

- [Southend-on-Sea Pier Structural Repairs](https://galvanizing.org.uk/steel-structures/southend-on-sea-pier-structural-repairs/): Southend-on-Sea Pier structural repairs for the city’s most treasured historical icon that put Southend on the map as well as into the record books. The pier is owned, managed and maintained by Southend City Council.
- [Temporary Bridge](https://galvanizing.org.uk/steel-structures/temporary-bridge/): Small but mighty, the history and performance of the Callender-Hamilton temporary bridge at Two Fords, Lydlinch, Dorset is impressive.
- [LJ Works: Urban Regeneration](https://galvanizing.org.uk/steel-structures/urban-regeneration/): LJ Works demonstrates how residents can take an active role in sustainable urban regeneration locally, by claiming land for long-term public use – creating space for self-sustaining local economies governed by and for the community.
