Understanding galvanizing for fasteners: a practical guide with Univiti’s experts

What is galvanizing? How many types of galvanizing exist? What does the process involve, and which industries require it?

Thanks to its extensive experience in the field, Univiti, a leader in fastener distribution, collaborated with Expometals.net to create a practical guide to galvanizing, providing valuable insights into this process, which is essential for the protection and durability of fasteners and metal products in general.

The guide goes over the different galvanizing techniques—hot-dip, cold, and electroplating—which are utilized in sectors such as construction, automotive, and manufacturing.

It also covers the standards to follow for proper execution: UNI EN ISO 1461 for hot-dip galvanizing and UNI ISO 2081 for electroplating. Compliance with these standards ensures that components have maximum resistance to corrosion and that the thickness of the zinc layer is measured and verified using precise methods. Univiti is committed to providing products that not only meet but exceed these quality requirements, making them suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
