Steel Tagging

Durable Steel Tags for the Galvanizing Process

Ensure smooth identification and tracking of your steel throughout the galvanizing process with our durable steel tags. Designed to withstand extreme conditions, including the galvanizing process itself, these tags provide essential details such as weight, lot number, and other custom information.

Benefits of Steel Tags

  • Unique identification for steel from fabrication through the galvanizing process and onto the final delivery.
  • Customised information. e.g. QR code; lot number, weight, erection number (for site).
  • Tag is still readable after the galvanizing process (including a QR code).

FAQs

Hot dip galvanized steel will last very well in most environments. It is not uncommon for galvanized steel to last more than 70 years under certain conditions. Latest corrosion rates can be found at the Galvanizers Association

The three intermetallic layers that form during the galvanizing process are all harder than the substrate steel and have excellent abrasion resistance.

“White Rust”, or wet storage stain, is formed because zinc on newly-galvanized steel is very reactive and quickly forms zinc oxide and zinc hydroxide corrosion products that go on to become the stable zinc carbonate.
When galvanized steel is stacked damp, stored in wet boxes or shrink wrapped with no free-flowing air, the zinc forms excessive layers of zinc hydroxide, otherwise known as wet storage stain.
Most wet storage stain can be easily removed with a nylon brush. To prevent wet storage stain, store galvanized steel indoors and in such a way to allow free-flowing air between each galvanized item.
