Hi all,
Could anyone tell me or know where i can find out how galvanising affects steel with respect to sheet thickness, or how sheet, angle and box section welded together are affected,
I am having big problems with distortion.
is there general rules that dictate what will or won't cause problems.
thanks
glenn
Maybe you should look at using Galvanised sheet, rather than self colour sheet metal and galvanising it after fabrication.
If it is galvanised for weather proofing then look at powder coating instead.

Yes there are rules. The U.S. version is ASTM Standard A384, written in American rather than British English. Look up the Galvanizers Association website at
For lots more links, you can go to
