The discussion centers on the mechanical performance of galvanized steel compared to high carbon steel, particularly in the context of applications where one may replace the other. Participants explore the conditions under which galvanized steel may be considered inferior and the implications of using different protective coatings.
Participants express differing views on the mechanical performance of galvanized steel versus high carbon steel, with no consensus on the definitive conditions that would rule out the use of galvanized steel. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the effectiveness of various protective coatings.
Participants have not fully defined the specific applications or conditions being discussed, which may affect the conclusions drawn about mechanical performance and coating effectiveness.
You can galvanize high carbon steel.abdulbadii said:In what condition and how definitively galvanized steel is lower in mechanical performance and counts to be ruled out replacing high carbon steel ?
Is this new (i.e are. there new improvements to powder coat and epoxe?) Do you have a handy reference?Baluncore said:Epoxy paint, or a powder coat, is not as reactive as zinc, and will now protect an item for longer than a sacrificial zinc coating.
