2026 Hot-Dip Galvanized Sheet Operations Course

Information Coming Soon!!! 

More than 35 galvanizers are meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina, to take the International Zinc Association’s 2025 Hot-Dip Galvanized Sheet Production Course. This three-day event covers key topics on coating line production processes, annealing, coating weight control, galvannealing, post galvanizing surface treatments, and coated sheet defects. IZA teachers Ana Paula Domingos Cardoso, Martin Gagné, and Frank Goodwin also discuss zinc bath management principles and technology. While the course is offered annually, the materials are updated frequently to reflect the latest developments in technology and sustainability. 

About the Course:

The GalvInfo Center, a program of the International Zinc Association, sponsors a 3-day course providing a comprehensive overview of hot dip galvanized sheet production covering:

  • coating line production processes
  • annealing
  • coating weight control
  • galvannealing
  • post galvanizing surface treatments
  • coated sheet defects
  • zinc bath management principles and technology

The course deals primarily with the operation of continuous galvanizing lines, including the metallurgical processes involved. A review and listing of key process variable is included.  

Who Should Attend?

Anyone interested in expanding his or her knowledge of the basic principles of galvanized steel sheet production. The course is especially beneficial to process engineers, maintenance personnel, production operators, and process related quality assurance staff.  R&D engineers, technical sales people, and anyone whose job requires knowledge of how coated sheet is made will benefit.  Equipment manufacturers and industry service suppliers can also benefit from this course.
