Hot-dip galvanized steel cylinders in the "Steel Beast" - Steal Beast" version are particularly suitable for heavy-duty use, such as sidemount diving or use in salt water. To ensure this is technically possible, highly tempered steel is used in their manufacture. The cylinders are immersed in a hot, liquid zinc bath. The zinc forms a solid metallurgical alloy with the steel, thus protecting the cylinders from corrosion better than any other external treatment. Hot-dip galvanizing is carried out according to the usual industrial standard and results in a partially irregular, rough surface texture with various shades of gray and black. The surface consists of excess zinc and may have small grooves, grooves, or scratches. However, these do not affect the excellent corrosion resistance of our Steel Beasters.
Hot-dip galvanized cylinders must not be completely painted, and we advise against the use of protective nets.
