Earlier, corrosion and repair of corrosion damages was the huge problem which resulted in high costs and also led to the waste of natural resources and many other indirect costs. Thus, the specification of galvanization was introduced and evolved as new emerging market. Galvanization which was once considered only as a means of corrosion protection is now specified for an array of reasons such as longevity,
sustainability, lower initial costs, availability, durability, and even aesthetics. One of the most common methods for galvanizing is hot-dip. Galvanized steel has wide range of applications in automobile, construction, home appliances, furniture, and other industries.
