Investigation of Zinc Coating Thickness and Mass on Galvanized Steel: Bridging Classical and Modern Non-Invasive Techniques
Abstract: Galvanized steel, protected by a layer of zinc, is widely used across industries for its superior corrosion resistance and structural durability. Accurate assessment of the zinc coating mass is essential for ensuring product performance, longevity, and compliance with international standards. This study investigates the quality and coating characteristics of imported galvanized steel sheets using both destructive (chemical stripping) and non-destructive techniques. Samples were evaluated according to IS 6745 and ASTM B499 standards. The research highlights the benefits and limitations of each method while emphasizing the growing need for non-invasive, environmentally sustainable alternatives. Results demonstrate that non-destructive methods, when properly calibrated, can reliably complement traditional techniques, supporting quality assurance practices across the galvanized steel industry.
