Hello
I am in the midst of doing a science project about galvinized nails rusting in certain solutions. I need information on exactly how a galvinized nail is made so I do my background report. If you could help me that would me lovely and I would really appreciate it.

Thank you
Nicole

Nicole,
You may want to check out the American Galvanizers Association website. On that site they have a "life" chart and a good explanantion of the process. Brad is correct in his reply, that galvanizing is an after fabrication process...it is a metal finishing process.

Check out the website...https://www.galvanizit.org and https://www.galvanizit.org/process.htm

I hope you find this info helpful in your science project research. Good luck.

BJH

Nicole,
Galvanizing is most often a coating applied to the steel later. Either a zinc coating or something like that. You don't make a galvanized nail like you would a steel nail or a copper nail or whatever. It's something added after manufacturing.

Edit

How much zinc is generally in a galvanized nail, or does it vary between processors/manufacturers?
