Galvanized steel sheet refers to a steel sheet with a layer of zinc on the surface for aesthetics and anti-rust purpose. It is most widely used in buildings and also applied as the base metal of color coated steel. Due to the different galvanizing processes, the zinc spangles will be different, including big spangles, regular spangles, small spangles, and zero spangles.

The substrate is hot rolling and cold rolling steel, which is with high strength, good processability, but is easy to corrosion. Through the galvanizing process, it will form a protective layer to prevent the substrate from rusting and prolong its service life. Here is how the zinc coating work: After zinc and oxygen reactions, there will be an oxide film to isolate the substrate from air and moisture to prevent oxidation. If the zinc layer scratches, somewhere around the zinc will melt to protect bare steel from corrosion.

Applications

Galvanized steel is versatile in construction, furniture, home appliances, and the automobile industry due to its durability and affordable price.

• Construction industry – Due to its lightweight and durability, galvanized steel has been popular for over a century as building material, especially for roofing, floor deck and wall uses. Because of its aesthetics, it is suitable for different architectural styles. Besides, it is also widely used in fencing, grilles, gutters, rolling doors, pipes, etc.

• Automobile industry – The hot-dip galvanized sheets for the automobile industry are mostly from 0.6 mm to 1.2 mm in thickness. About 80% of the car body is made of galvanized steel because of its anti-corrosion. Also, it is also used to make shells, roofs, and floors of carriages, containers, etc. 

• Light industry, includes the casing of home appliances, chimneys, kitchenware, etc. It can be also found in agricultural uses or the furniture industry, such as granaries, billboards, etc.

• At Zhongxi Factory, we also make some finished products, such as galvanized tanks, chimneys, buckets, stoves, roofing sheets, door panels, etc. If you want more details, please contact us!
