The present invention relates to a tin-containing and/or bismuth-containing zinc alloy for hot galvanizing steel, more particularly for steel component galvanizing. The alloy is composed of 1 to 5 percent by weight of tin and bismuth, 0 to saturation of lead, 0.025 to 0.200 percent by weight of at least one metal being selected from the group consisting of nickel, chromium or manganese, 0 to 0.030 percent by weight of at least one metal being selected from the group consisting of aluminium, calcium and magnesium, the remainder being zinc and unavoidable impurities. Disclosed is also a process for hot dip galvanizing of steel components, in which the components to be galvanized are dipped in a bath performed from the above-described alloy.
