About This Product
Galvannealed steel is produced by a hot-dip process like galvanized steel. The primary difference is the reheating of the sheet after coating to achieve an alloyed coating of zinc and iron.
- Features a zinc-iron alloy coating for enhanced corrosion resistance and paint adhesion.
- Ideal for applications requiring a smooth, paint-ready surface, such as automotive panels.
- Available in various thicknesses and coating weights to suit specific project needs.
- Combines steel’s strength with a durable, alloyed surface for long-term performance.
Key Characteristics
- Corrosion Resistance: Zinc-iron alloy coating provides robust protection against rust and environmental wear.
- Surface Finish: Offers a uniform, matte surface optimized for painting and coating applications.
- Mechanical Properties: Maintains steel’s formability and strength, with improved surface hardness from the alloyed coating.
How is it Made?
Preparation: Steel sheets are cleaned to ensure proper zinc adhesion during coating.
Hot-Dip Coating: The steel is submerged in a molten zinc bath, forming an initial zinc layer.
Annealing: The coated steel is reheated to alloy the zinc with iron, creating a zinc-iron coating.
Finishing: The steel is cooled, inspected, and processed into coils or sheets for customer specifications.
Common Applications
- Automotive: Body panels, door frames, and hoods, where paintability and corrosion resistance ensure a premium finish.
- Building Materials: Wall panels, roofing, and structural components, valued for durability and aesthetic versatility.
- Painted Products: Signage, architectural cladding, and decorative elements, benefiting from superior paint adhesion.
- Appliances: Refrigerator doors, oven panels, and washer casings, leveraging the smooth, paint-ready surface.
Benefits
- Corrosion Resistance: Zinc-iron alloy coating ensures long-lasting protection against rust.
- Improved Paintability: Enhanced surface provides superior adhesion for paints and coatings compared to galvanized steel.
- Versatility: Adapts to diverse applications, from automotive to architectural, due to its durable finish.
- Cost-Effective: Offers premium surface quality and protection without high-cost alternatives.
