Technical Advice

Korvest Galvanisers employs expert staff who are able to offer technical advice about the use of hot dip galvanising for your fabricated steel.

This ensures that your job will be finished to the highest possible standard with an even and strong coating.

What can you Galvanise?

In short, any mild, cast or some low alloy steels and cast iron can be galvanised. All of our work is finished to AS4680:2006, the current Australian standard for galvanising which specifies the minimum local coating thickness based on the steel being galvanised, and ensures all parts of the steel are adequately coated.
