Procedure;-
For the production of Galvanized Octagonal Pole, Ungalavanized pole is
used as starting material. Un galvanized pole are sent to surface treatment
section and galvanizing section. The surface treatment prior to galvanizing
consisit of pickling. The surface is rinsed by water and passes through HCL
bath for pickling. To avoid the attack of acid on the base metal pickling
additives are added.

The galvanizing bath is oil/diesel fired furnace where zinc,lead,aluminium


alloy,special flux and various other chemicals are added depending upon the
requirement. The lead content of the galvanizing bath is about 10 % of the
total content of the bath. The product from pickling process is dipped into the
zinc solution and then cooled in quenching. The product is than stored after
Inspection.
