冷鍍鋅方管是在所用的方管上利用冷鍍鋅的原理來使方管具有防腐蝕的性能。與熱鍍鋅不同冷鍍鋅涂料主要通過電化學原理來進行防腐，因此必須保證鋅粉與鋼材的充分接觸，產生電極電位差，所以鋼材表面處理很重要。

Cold galvanized square tubes are used to make square tubes have anticorrosive properties by using the principle of cold galvanizing. Different from hot-dip galvanizing, cold-dip galvanizing coatings are mainly anti-corrosion based on electrochemical principle. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure full contact between zinc powder and steel to produce electrode potential difference, so surface treatment of steel is very important.
