Abstract
This paper deals with the evaluation of the surface of structural steel whose samples were deliberately contaminated with transparent spray primer, adhesive label glue, and welding sprays prior to hot-dip galvanizing. The galvanized samples were studied by optical microscopy, GDOES, adhesion tests, and condensation humidity tests. The effect of surface contamination on the quality of the zinc coating was found to be significant. In some cases, the zinc coating is damaged (after contamination with welding sprays), in others, it is completely absent (after contamination with spray primer or adhesive label glue).
