Is Hot Dipped Galvanized Necessary For Submerged Steel Shackles
Is Hot Dipped Galvanized Necessary For Submerged Steel Shackles
(OP)
I have an application where steel shackles are used in a deep ocean mooring. We have used plain and painted steel shackles with good results. Now the push is to use hot dipped galvanized shackles. Is this necessary or will the hot dip quickly corrode away after several months?

The service life of sacrificial anodes (in this case - galvanizing) is determined (partly) by the mass of anode material.
Since galvanizing provides a very thin layer, with little mass (relatively speaking), I wouldn't recommend it, and in generall, I oppose sacrificial cathodic protetion in immersion when the CP is provided by coatings of any type.
