Summary for surface defects on hot dip galvanized steel sheet Discussion
surface defects on hot dip galvanized steel sheet are the main concern in this thread, but the replies stay broad rather than listing every defect. Ayub Naqvi asks for details, causes, and pictures of surface defects on hot-dip galvanized sheet, and later posters ask about quality optimization for automotive use, defect photos, white patch marks, and how to judge whether a galvanized product is acceptable. The earliest practical pointer comes from Oktay Elkoca, who recommends the book *Faults in Hot Dip Galvanizing* by Dietrich Horstmann as a source on defects. Hamed Asgari also points readers to Teck Cominco’s technical library for information on galvanizing properties, defects, and optimization. In the final reply, the answerer advises Huang Yau Ang to retain a galvanizing consultant and notes that galvanizing defects are a deep subject covered in very large books, though specific questions can still be discussed.

A. Hi Huang. Please consider retaining a galvanizing consultant to see you through this process. There are thousand-page books just on the subject of galvanizing defects if you wish to go that route. Sorry, but I don’t know how anyone could condense such books into the few paragraphs appropriate for a public forum. People spend lifetimes learning this technology.
If you have specific questions we’re pleased to try to help, of course.
Regards,
Ted Mooney, P.E.
