Archived Forum Admin OFFLINE Administrator Posts: 2429 Karma: 3	Using a .105 diameter 1065 carbon steel as a process size, what would be the thickness in oz/ft2 of a hot dip galvanized coating? Also, if this .105 wire were drawn down to .050", what would be the calculated thickness of the coating at that size? Thanks for any help. Mike Caranna

He is an expert in that field and I'm sure he would be happy to answer your question. This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

In general, these are the coatings that should be expected on 1065 steel: .105" 1.2 oz/ ft2 .050" 0.5 oz/ ft2 Kindest Regards Eduardo Anaya
