Galvanized Coil: Premium Corrosion-Resistant Steel for Global Applications
1. Raw Material Composition
At the core of our galvanized coils lies high-quality low-carbon steel substrates, selected for their superior mechanical properties and compatibility with galvanizing processes. We utilize two primary substrate types to cater to diverse application needs:
- Cold-rolled steel strips: Ideal for applications requiring precise surface quality and deep drawability (e.g., home appliances, automotive parts), with grades like Q195, Q235, and Q345 ensuring excellent welding and stamping performance.
- Hot-rolled steel strips: Preferred for structural applications (e.g., steel silos, construction frameworks) due to their robust strength, available in grades such as SGC 340, SGC 490, and SGH 400.
The protective coating consists of pure zinc (Zn) or zinc-aluminum (Al-Zn) alloy, applied via hot-dip technology to form a metallurgically bonded layer that prevents rust and environmental degradation.
2. Precision Manufacturing Process
Our galvanized coils undergo a stringent, continuous production process to ensure uniform quality and performance:
- Raw Material Preparation: Substrate steel coils are cut to specified dimensions and inspected for impurities or defects.
- Cleaning & Pre-Treatment: The steel undergoes degreasing (alkaline solution) to remove oil/grease, pickling (mild acid) to eliminate rust/mill scale, and rinsing to neutralize residues-critical for coating adhesion.
- Hot-Dip Galvanizing: Cleaned steel is immersed in a molten zinc bath (≈450℃/842°F), where zinc reacts with steel to form a dense zinc-iron alloy layer. This step delivers unmatched corrosion resistance.
- Cooling & Finishing: Coils are cooled to solidify the coating, then treated with options like anti-rust oil, PVC film, or color painting based on customer needs.
- Quality Inspection: Each coil undergoes testing for coating thickness, surface finish, and mechanical properties before packaging.
3. Global Standards & Specifications
Our galvanized coils are manufactured to comply with major international standards, ensuring market access and performance consistency worldwide:
