Galvanized – Galvannealed Flat Steel

GZR-GZRK-GZRD

To increase the corrosion resistance of the steel sheet, the surface is coated with zinc by dipping or electrolytic coating. The coating is generally applied as a total of 100-600 gr/square meter on both surfaces. Chromate solution or oil is applied to the surface of the coated material to protect it against white rust.

ADVANTAGES OVER COLD SHEET

High Corrosion Resistance: Zinc coating provides excellent corrosion resistance to the galvanized material due to the zinc acting as a barrier against corrosive elements. The final service life depends on the thickness of the coating and the corrosiveness of the environment (humid, salty, etc.).

Excellent surface appearance: Can be used without any surface treatment.

Formability: Since Galvanized Sheets maintain their forming properties, they can be deep drawn and easily shaped.

Paintability: It can be easily painted after suitable surface pre-treatment. It allows it to be presented and shaped as painted sheet metal to the end user by painting before use.

Weldability: Can be welded using many known welding methods.

GENERAL AREAS OF USE

Galvanized sheet, which is very suitable for corrosion resistance and painting, is the type of material that best meets the needs of the automotive sector. It is used by automotive manufacturers in the production of both interior and exterior surface parts, and thus a lifetime warranty against corrosion can be given.

In the construction sector, hot dip galvanized sheets have found a wide range of applications in roofing, panels or sandwich panels on the interior and exterior surfaces of buildings by giving them appropriate forms.
Due to its long life, it is the preferred product in the production of white goods (plain on invisible surfaces and as painted sheets on visible surfaces) and in the production of ventilation equipment.
