Galvanized Iron Sheets Production via Hot Dip Galvanising Method

This report presents a comprehensive cost evaluation of Galvanized iron sheet production using the hot dip galvanising method. The process involves dipping the iron sheet into an alkaline or acidic solution to degrease the iron, washing the iron article with cold water, and then removing rust by dipping the iron into hydrochloric acid. The iron sheet is then dipped into a flux solution which removes the remains of oxide from the surface, aiding molten zinc to adhere to the iron surface. After cleaning the iron, it is dipped into the molten zinc allowing multi-layers of iron-zinc alloy formation, thus thickening the zinc coating, finally forming Galvanized iron sheet, and cooling the sheets.
