Forming EG steel
Electrogalvanization, with its thin coatings, can be suitable for highly formed parts; for example, deeply drawn components. Extreme forming applications may require lubrication prior to forming.
Welding ZE steel
Electrogalvanizing provides excellent resistance spot welding properties.
Adhesive and mechanical joining of electrogalvanized steel
Electrogalvanized steel can be joined using a variety of adhesives. EG-coated parts are generally considered easier to bond than traditional zinc-coated (GI) parts. Mechanical joining of electrogalvanized parts can be done using bolts, rivet tabs, or non-tabs.
