Galvanising – Good industrial corrosion protection but:

 

Does not provide a smooth surface and lumps of zinc accumulate on lower edges with spikes and drips

Fettled areas can expose steel surfaces which can rust

Heat of galvanising process causes distortion especially in large flat areas

Tubular items must have unsightly vent holes

Varying material composition and thicknesses can give differing surface finishes from dull grey to shiny silver, no other colour available

Over time all galvanised products turn dull grey with a surface of Zinc Oxide. Items stacked in damp conditions will exhibit white rust

Corners and pockets can trap dross from the galvanising process
