Galvanised Metals
At Harris Steels, we supply high-quality galvanised metals to businesses across the West Midlands. Galvanising involves bonding a protective zinc layer to steel or iron, preventing corrosion, rust, and other environmental damage. We carefully inspect every piece before dispatch. While galvanising provides long-term protection, slight surface irregularities or zinc layer variations can occur, so each item is checked for smoothness and quality before leaving our premises.
Methods of Galvanising Metals
There are several ways metals can be galvanised:
- Hot-Dip Galvanising
- Pre-Galvanising
- Electro Galvanising
These processes ensure durable, corrosion-resistant metals suitable for both industrial and outdoor applications.
Benefits of Galvanised Metals
Galvanised steel offers long-term durability and low maintenance. The zinc carbonate protective layer can extend the life of steel or iron for up to 70 years. They’re cost-effective over time and widely used for nuts, bolts, nails, and other tools exposed to harsh environments.
