Dear researchers,
What is the your percent gross zinc usage (e.g. (zinc consumed/production) times 100%) in the production of Steel Pipes by Hot-dip Galvanizing? with credits for dross or ash.
I am conducting a benchmark survey of technical information on hot dip galvanizing processes because of the lack of comparative data.
Here in a brazilian industry the percentage of zinc consumption for the production of steel tubes are between 1/2 "inch and 2" inches is 8.5% and between 3 "and 6" tubes is 7.8%. Considering dross and ashes.
Best Regards,

Hello Leonardo Lopes ,
The percentage use of zinc coated in the region ranges from 12.5 to 17.8%. It is mainly used for casting exposed to corrosion such as sheet metal for roofs, fencing nets, rainwater drainage pipes, wire products (bolts, nuts and nails).
