Galvanize it! Seminar - VA Beach

Galvanize It! Seminar by American Galvanizers Association

Presenter: Brian Snellings

Course Description:

The Core Galvanize It! seminar introduces you to the basics of hot-dip galvanized steel. For more than 100 years, hot-dip galvanizing has been a mainstay of North American industry. Used in various applications in some of the harshest environments, hot-dip galvanizing combats corrosion throughout the world. Though corrosion resistance is inherent any time galvanizing is used, more specifiers select hot-dip galvanizing now for other reasons including lowest initial and life-cycle cost, durability, longevity, versatility, sustainability, and aesthetics. This course will examine the hot-dip galvanizing process as well as other zinc coatings, and detail the intrinsic benefits galvanizing provides.

Learning Objectives:

• Differentiate hot dip galvanizing from other zinc coatings
• Identify reasons specifiers choose galvanized steel (corrosion protection, durability, availability, versatility, and asethetics)
• Understand factors that affect hot dip galvanized steel performance in various environments
• Recognize the positive environmental and economic contributions of galvanizing to the goals of sustainable development
