Welding of Galvanized Steel


Galvanized steels are welded easily and satisfactorily by all commonly practiced welding techniques. Closer control of welding conditions than for uncoated steel is usually necessary but procedures are simple and well established. This chapter details procedures for all suitable welding techniques for galvanized steel including GMA (gas metal arc), carbon arc, GTA (gas tungsten arc), manual metal arc, and torch welding. The welding of galvanized reinforcement for concrete is discussed on page 32.

Work sponsored by International Lead Zinc Research Organization, New York and carried out by E N Gregory of The Welding Institute, Cambridge, England, has been used in recommendations on GMA welding and manual metal arc welding. Recommendations are based on Australian practice and terminology. Information has also been supplied by Liquid Air Australia Limited and Welding Industries of Australia.
