Galvanized square tubes are divided into hot-dip galvanized square tubes and cold-dip galvanized square tubes in terms of production technology. It is precisely because of the different processing of these two galvanized square tubes that they have many different physical and chemical properties. Generally speaking, they have many differences in strength, toughness and mechanical properties.

Hot dipped galvanized square tube

Hot-dip galvanized square tube: It is a square tube made by welding a steel plate or steel strip after being curled and formed. On the basis of this square tube, the square tube is placed in a hot-dip galvanizing pool and undergoes a series of chemical reactions. A square tube formed. The production process of hot-dip galvanized square tubes is relatively simple, the production efficiency is very high, and there are many varieties and specifications. This kind of square tubes requires very little equipment and funds, and is suitable for the production of small galvanized square tube manufacturers. However, in terms of strength, the strength of this steel pipe is far lower than that of seamless square pipes.

Cold galvanized square tube

Cold-dip galvanized square tubes use the principle of cold galvanizing on the square tubes used to make the square tubes anti-corrosion. Different from hot-dip galvanizing, cold-dip galvanizing coating mainly uses electrochemical principles for anti-corrosion. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure full contact between zinc powder and steel to generate an electrode potential difference, so surface treatment of steel is very important.

The difference between hot and cold galvanizing

Galvanized square tubes are divided into two categories: hot-dip galvanized square tubes and electro-galvanized square tubes. Hot-dip galvanized square pipes include wet method, dry method, lead-zinc method, redox method, etc. The main difference between different hot-dip galvanizing methods is the method used to activate the surface of the pipe body to improve the galvanizing quality after acid leaching cleaning of the steel pipe. Dry method and redox method are mainly used in current production, and their characteristics are shown in the table. The surface of the zinc layer of electro-galvanizing is very smooth, dense and uniform in structure; it has good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance; the zinc consumption is 60% to 75% lower than that of hot-dip galvanizing. Electro-galvanizing is technically complex, but this method must be used for single-sided coatings, double-sided coatings with different coating thicknesses on the inner and outer surfaces, and thin-walled pipe galvanizing.
