About This Product
Aluminum-Zinc coated steel is produced by a hot dip process like galvanized steel. The primary difference is that the coating composition is predominantly aluminum and zinc.
- Features an aluminum-zinc alloy coating for exceptional corrosion resistance and heat reflectivity.
- Ideal for applications like roofing and cladding, where long-term durability is critical.
- Available in various thicknesses and coating weights to meet diverse project requirements.
- Combines steel’s strength with a lightweight, protective coating for enhanced performance.
Key Characteristics
- Corrosion Resistance: Aluminum-zinc coating provides superior protection against rust, outperforming traditional galvanized steel.
- Surface Finish: Offers a smooth, spangled surface suitable for painting or aesthetic applications.
- Mechanical Properties: Retains steel’s formability and strength, with added durability from the alloyed coating.
How is it Made?
- Preparation: Steel sheets are cleaned to ensure proper adhesion of the aluminum-zinc coating.
- Hot-Dip Coating: The steel is submerged in a molten bath of aluminum and zinc, forming a protective alloy layer.
- Cooling and Finishing: The coated steel is cooled, inspected, and processed into coils or sheets to meet specifications.
- Optional Treatments: Surface passivation may be applied to enhance corrosion resistance and paintability.
Common Applications
- Building Panels: Wall panels and architectural cladding, valued for corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal.
- Roofing: Residential and commercial roofing systems, chosen for durability and heat reflectivity.
- Transportation: Trailer bodies and railcar components, benefiting from lightweight strength and weather resistance.
- Agriculture: Grain silos and barn cladding, leveraging Galvalume’s longevity in harsh outdoor environments.
Benefits
- Improved Corrosion Protection: Aluminum-zinc coating outperforms galvanized steel, extending service life in harsh conditions.
- Excellent Paintability: Smooth surface ensures strong adhesion for paints and coatings, enhancing visual appeal.
- Versatility: Adapts to a wide range of applications, from construction to agriculture, due to its robust coating.
- Heat Reflectivity: Reduces heat absorption, improving energy efficiency in roofing and cladding applications.
