What can I do to minimize possible warping & distortion? Is it possible to determine – prior to galvanizing – which pieces might be prone to this occurrence?
Minimizing potential warpage and distortion is easily done in the project’s design stages by selecting steel of equal thicknesses for use in every separate subassembly that is to be hot-dip galvanized, using symmetrical designs whenever possible, and by avoiding the use of light-gage steel (<1/16" / 1.6 mm). Some structures may benefit from the use of temporary bracing to help maintain their shape and/or alignment.
