  The blog explains the key differences between Hot Dip Galvanizing (HDG) and Electro-Galvanizing (EG), two popular zinc-coating methods used to protect steel from corrosion. Hot Dip Galvanizing involves immersing steel into molten zinc at around 450°C, forming a thick zinc–iron alloy layer. This results in a strong metallurgical bond and a heavy coating thickness of 45–120 microns. Because of this, HDG offers long-lasting corrosion resistance, often protecting steel for 20–50 years even in harsh outdoor environments. However, its finish is rough and matte, making it less ideal for applications where appearance and precise dimensions are important. Electro-Galvanizing, on the other hand, uses an electrolytic process at room temperature to deposit a thin zinc coating, usually 5–25 microns. EG provides a smooth, bright, and uniform surface finish, making it suitable for automotive parts, home appliances, indoor components, and products where aesthetic appeal and tight tolerances m...
