Welding

Fabrications should always keep in mind that galvanizing steel is exposed to temperature variations.

Welding or bending-induced stress that reside in the material after fabrication may be released during galvanizing, also resulting in structural changes in shape and/ or alignment (distortion and warping).

Bracing: Permanent or removable after galvanizing provides stability during the thermal expansion and contraction cycle. Occasionally, when Bracing is not used and Warping and/ or distortion occur, the part will return to its original shape during cool-down.
