The Association provides technical media which is distributed widely throughout Australia and overseas, maintains an extensive library on all aspects of the galvanizing process, and is represented on relevant Australian Standards committees related to corrosion protection.
Galvanized fasteners are essential in bolted galvanized steel structures.
GAA maintains close links with all other National Galvanizing Associations and can access information from this world-wide network. GAA welcomes the opportunity to provide information on designing for galvanizing, and on the performance of galvanized coatings for any specific purposes. The Birth of Galvanising After discovering that electricity is generated through the contact of dissimilar metals, it was noticed in Volta's battery that 1 of the 2 metals was always preserved from oxidation. This specification covers the after fabrication galvanized coating applied to general steel articles, structural sections, angles, channels, beams, columns, fabricated steel assemblies, castings, threaded fasteners, steel reinforcement and other steel components.
