The zinc protects the base metal by acting as a barrier to corrosive elements and the sacrificial nature of the coating results in a long lasting and high quality steel product.
Galvanised steel sheet properties.
Its good plating reliability rust inhibition and cost effectiveness make it ideal for many industries.
While molten zinc solidifies on the surface of the steel sheet normal zinc crystallization is suppressed creating fine crystals.
Typical of astm steel.
1 t bends in many of the steels were embrittled by galvanizing but galvanized 2 t and 3 t bends in all steels could be completely straightened without cracking.
Gi takes place on a cold rolled plate and gi h takes place on a hot rolled plate.
The properties of galvanized steel are a unique combination that make it ideal for use in interior and exterior applications such as car bodies appliances nuts and bolts roofs and rebar.
