With hot-dipped galvanized steel, hydrogen absorption with the formation of blisters can be observed in cathodic protection [38]. 

The assessment for nonalloyed ferrous materials (e.g., mild steel, cast iron) can also be applied generally to hot-dipped galvanized steel. Surface films of corrosion products act favorably in limiting corrosion of the zinc. This strongly retards the development of anodic areas. Surface film formation can also be assessed from the sum of rating numbers [3, 14].

Zinc was also already in use for protection in seawater in 1824 (see Section 1.3). In the beginning zinc material that was available from the hot-dip galvanizing industry was used but was less suitable because it became passive. Passivation does not occur with high-purity zinc. Super high grade zinc is the anode material with the least problems [5] and consists of 99.995% Zn and less than 0.0014% Fe without further additions. It is specified in Ref. 6 and permitted by the German Navy [7]. The most important properties of pure zinc are listed in Table 6-1. 

Materials for metal tanks and installations include plain carbon steel, hot-dipped galvanized steel, stainless steel [e.g., steel No. 1.4571 (AISI 316Ti)], copper and its alloys. The corrosion resistance of these materials in water is very variable and can... 

The electrolysis protection process using impressed current aluminum anodes allows uncoated and hot-dipped galvanized ferrous materials in domestic installations to be protected from corrosion. If impressed current aluminum anodes are installed in water tanks, the pipework is protected by the formation of a film without affecting the potability of the water. With domestic galvanized steel pipes, a marked retardation of the cathodic partial reaction occurs [15]. Electrolytic treatment alters the electrolytic characteristics of the water, as well as internal cathodic protection of the tank and its inserts (e.g., heating elements). The pipe protection relies on colloidal chemical processes and is applied only to new installations and not to old ones already attacked by corrosion. 

Fitzpatrick et al. [41] used small-spot XPS to determine the failure mechanism of adhesively bonded, phosphated hot-dipped galvanized steel (HDGS) upon exposure to a humid environment. Substrates were prepared by applying a phosphate conversion coating and then a chromate rinse to HDGS. Lap joints were prepared from substrates having dimensions of 110 x 20 x 1.2 mm using a polybutadiene (PBD) adhesive with a bond line thickness of 250 p,m. The Joints were exposed to 95% RH at 35 C for 12 months and then pulled to failure.

In areas where electrical equipment is exposed to contaminants, the selection of equipment whose contacts are oil-immersed or hermetically sealed can increase reliability and equipment life. Similarly, providing environmentally-controlled equipment rooms can greatly increase equipment life at locations where contaminants are prevalent. In offshore and other areas exposed to salt, type 316 stainless steel is often preferred over types 303 and 304, which will pit with time. Likewise, in similar locations, equipment fabricated from galvanized steel will corrode much more rapidly than equipment hot-dip galvanized after fabrication.

Figure 5.4 The hot dip galvanization process involves dipping steal or iron parts into molten zinc. The zinc coats the parts, providing a barrier to oxygen and moisture. Exposure to oxygen and moisture can cause iron and steel to rust, which can weaken the metal. In this photo, a steel worker in Indiana performs the process.

Raw Materials. The source of zinc can be zinc oxide from a smelter, zinc dross or sweepings, ammonium chloride slag from hot dip galvanizing, or liquid waste such as pickle liquors from galvanizing plants. Variations in the price of zinc have a large effect on the economics of zinc sulfide pigments.
