The advantages of electric arc galvanising Compared with hot dip galvanising, which is one of the treatments with the most similar characteristics, the electric arc galvanising process offers the following benefits: • work speed (upon reservation, processing is carried out within the day); • low energy consumption, equal to 10 kWh; • thicknesses from 25 μm to 500 μm, impossible to achieve with any other protective system; • metal parts ready for coating, without the need to eliminate any slag, flakes, leachate, or mattes; • slightly porous surfaces, which facilitate the subsequent coating and/or machining operations; • competitive costs because the system turns on and off as needed; no plant stops or waiting times, because work is done on request; • absence of VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds).
