Galvanizing Quick Turnaround
By arrangement, it may  be possible to process your steel within 24 hours.
Galvanizing won’t keep you or your project waiting. A few easy steps go a long way.
The actual process of dipping steel in molten zinc takes just a matter of minutes. What takes slightly longer is the preparation beforehand.
The steel must be hung on jigs, cleaned, rinsed and fluxed before it can be galvanized. Afterwards, it must cool (the galvanizing bath is at about 450°C) and be taken off the jigs. The time to do all of this is only a few hours. In practice of course, there is other work being processed too, so the typical turnaround time is about three days.
