Why are Grade 80 and Grade 100 Components Not Recommended to be Hot Dip or Electro Galvanized?

While galvanizing is an effective method for protecting steel components from corrosion, it is not suitable for all types of steel. High-strength components like Grade 80 and Grade 100 are particularly vulnerable to the risks associated with galvanizing, including hydrogen embrittlement and heat treatment concerns. Understanding these limitations is crucial for ensuring the safety and performance of your projects.
