IndustrialHot Dip Galvanizing Catalog
METELMEXSince 1981 we have successfully provided services to different industries worldwide. By offering high quality products at competitive prices, we have gained prestige as one of the most important Mexican companies of its field on a national and international level.Even though our main area of expertise is the fabrication of Steel Bar Grating, due to our client’s requirements and highly demanded standards by the market, we have grown our products range, thus, we are able to offer integrated projects with higher quality in shorter periods of time.
Hot Dip GalvanizingThis process is carried out through immersion of materials into a bath of molten zinc. Due to the fact that the pieces are totally immersed in the liquid metal, the surface is completely covered and protected from possible corrosive effects which could be caused by the atmosphere, water or surface.Our Galvanizing service applies to different products of the industry, such as: industrial grating, pipes & tubing, angles, beams, channels, railings, among many others.

¿WHY SHOULD YOU HOT DIP GALVANIZE? • Zero maintenance
Galvanized coatings does not need maintenance.• Affordable
Galvanizing price is very reasonable.• Absolutely reliable
Hot dip galvanizing is a simple process, controlled, and perfectly specified by ASTM & NMX standards.
• Compatible with other finishes You can paint over it and it also looks fine with stainless steel and aluminum.

Hot Dip Galvanizing is a process that aims to provide protection against corrosion by coating steel structures with zinc layers. This process, used as a coating in industrial, civil, and commercial projects is the highest protection against corrosion for any steel product.
3
Zinc layers are normally specified due to its resistance agains corrosion, and not for its appearance.Our process line is specially designed to meet the needs of any client that requires zinc coating or galvanization. ASTM A385 is a standard practice used to guarantee the highest quality of zinc layers after hot dip galvanizing.Specific elements in steel composition, such as carbon greater than 0.25%, phosphorus greater than 0.040%, manganese greater than 1.3%, silicon between 0.04% and 0.15%, or above 0.22% can trigger non desired growth of zinc layers.

Immersion of product in flux
GALVANIZING PROCESS Consists in immersing elements in a bath of molten metal composed mainly by zinc. Due to the fact that the pieces are totally immersed in the liquid metal, the surface is completely covered and protected from the corrosive effects caused by the environment.This process is affordable and attractive for the construction industry, since it is an alternative to the use of long lasting, resistant and affordable structures.

CERTIFICATIONS AND STANDARDS In order to achieve our clients required quality, we keep up to date with international and national (ASTM and NMX) standards and certifications led by the associations to which we belong, such as AMEGAC and LAPEM. This ensures long life to our galvanized products.
Step number 2 is repeated.
4. RINSE
The formed oxides are eliminated using hydrochloric acid, so as to have a chemically clean surface.
3. PICKLING
The pieces are immersed in a water container to remove the excesses from the previous step.
2. RINSE
The pieces are subjected to alkaline degreasing solutions to remove grease, dust and dirt.
1. DEGREASEThe pieces are reviewed after galvanization to verify that they meet the client´s requirements.
7. INSPECTION
This is done by immersing the piece in a bath of molten zinc at a temperature of about 450ºC (the coating thickness is proportional to the time of immersion).
6. GALVANIZING
This salt (zinc chloride and ammonium) protects the piece from oxidation after the pickling process, as well; it allows the zinc to slide over the steel.
5. USE OF FLUX

ZINC PAINT The high performance compounds of zinc in aerosol and its liquid form (Prime Zinc and Super Zinc) protect steel from corrosion through galvanic action.
PRESENTATIONS Cold galvanizing compound spray

Cold galvanizing compound can
1 gal.
INSTANT PROTECTION:The first generation barrier of zinc dries rapidly, protecting the metal against corrosion. Oxygen in the air reacts with the resin, forming a tough long lasting coating.
LONG-TERM PROTECTION:The second generation of zinc is formed in the outer layers of the surface as a reaction of its contact with moisture and air. This forms zinc oxide, which acts as an insoluble coating that protects the metal on the long term.
PROTECTION AGAINST SCRATCHES:When zinc and steel are in direct contact and are separated by a scratch while at the same time being in contact with humidity, zinc turns into anode and steel into cathode, forcing the zinc to sacrifice for the steel, making more zinc oxide layers.
