Outside-only galvanizing is done by transporting long lengths of pipe through the zinc bath, or by pouring molten zinc on the pipe in an hermetically sealed section of the line. It is well known that the corrosion resistance of galvanized steel is, grosso modo, proportional to the coating thickness (see Fig. III12). The zinc-iron alloy layers, such as the delta layer which is almost entirely formed during the high temperature process at 550-560°C, show an increased corrosion resistance — especially in marine and industrial climates.

Layer contains practically only the delta alloy. Increased corrosion resistance and surface hardness. Easier to apply organic coatings. Decreased deformability. D High temperature galvanizing: At 550-560°C. Layer consists mainly of delta alloy. Very hard and wear resistant. Increased corrosion resistance. Smooth layer, easy to coat. Coating thickness somewhat lower than obtained with galvanizing at 440-465°C. Ε Galfan: Continuous galvanizing process. 04% Mischmetal (Ce/La alloy). Coating thickness per side of coil 15-25 μπι.
