the past few months Vicepresident of Steven Chris tophcr started in the business as an in Newmarket and since has his experience in galvaniung everything from highway guardrails to wrought iron fencing What galvanizing docs explained Christopher is protect steel from cor Steel products are shipped to us or we pick them up continued Christopher and uc begin the cleaning and galvanizing pro cess First of all we store the steel in the yard until it is scheduled for the process It usually takes a week or so before the pieces arc placed on pick racks and dipped into a not caustic solution The caustic solution removes soy grease paints or oils and can take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour to complete After the caustic solution the steel Is rinsed with water placed In a bath of 30 per cent hydrochloric acid solution The hydrochloric add is used to remove any rust or corrosion on the items and this process takes anywhere from minutes to two hours Following the hydrochloric bath the metal is washed off with clean water and placed in a bath to prepare It tor gal vanning Only after this entire process is completed the steel is ready for the actual galvanising A long vat furnace heats 99 per cent pure line to MS degrees before the metal is dipped The actual process of gal vaniting is not a bonding technique as you might think commented Christopher The metal itself has to reach the same temperature- as the causing a metal reaction where the steel melts together with the zinc The galvanized steel is then quenched with water and readied to ship out to customers The end result Is an average coating of two ounces per square foot per side pro ng the steel from the elements that can cause It to corrode Over the past summer the company also employed six students and
