Galvanized metal steel sheet

Galvanized metal sheet refers to a sheet of metal that has been coated with a layer of zinc to protect it from corrosion. It is widely used in the construction, automobile, and other industries.

Galvanised GI Steel Plate has good corrosion resistance, durability, and can be easily processed and installed. It is often used as a substitute for painted steel sheet and other materials.

Hot-dip galvanising is the process of coating iron or steel with a thin zinc layer, by passing the steel through a molten bath of zinc at a temperature of around 860 °F (460 °C). When exposed to the atmosphere, pure zinc reacts with oxygen to form zinc oxide, which further reacts with carbon dioxide to form zinc carbonate, a dull grey, fairly strong material that stops further corrosion in many circumstances, protecting the steel below from the elements.

Galvanised steel is widely used in applications where rust resistance is needed, and can be identified by the crystallization patterning on the surface (often called a “spangle”).

What is Galvanization?

Galvanization is a manufacturing process involving the application of zinc coating to steel to prevent it from rusting. The zinc coating works to protect the base metal. It does this by acting as a barrier to the various corrosive elements. Therefore, it offers a sacrificial nature that gives a high-quality and long-lasting steel product.

Galvanized sheet metal is one of the most popular types of steel. This is due to its increased strength, extended durability, and formability. The corrosion-resistant property throws its usefulness up a significant notch.

Uses and Applications of Galvanized Sheet Metal

There are countless applications of galvanized sheet metal, helping to make components of both large and small machines. When it comes to sheet metal work, galvanized steel helps in manufacturing components that can withstand harsh conditions.

These components tend to remain true to their quality, regardless of the level of strain they go through. Some of the most common applications of galvanized sheet metal are in:

Automotive Industry

The use of Galvanized Coil on vehicles dates many years back. Using zinc-coated bodies on automobiles has become the norm of car manufacturing. The rust-resistant nature of this material makes it a great marketing tool in the competitive market. Several makers leverage them to offer anti-rust warranties to their customers.

Telecommunication Industry

Maintaining phone lines isn’t an easy job. They require the toughest and most reliable materials for success. Galvanized sheet metal offers its use on phone wiring and equipment boxes. Therefore, there will be decreased danger of injury and reduced maintenance costs.

Electric Equipment and Appliances

When you look at most electric appliances around you, you may be able to notice the unique features of their casing. Most casings for electrical equipment use galvanized steel material. In fact, it is not surprising that some interior parts of these appliances are made from this steel material.

Building and Construction Industry

The sturdiness and durability that galvanized sheet metal offers make it popular in the construction industry. It has been employed in various commercial and residential projects to the highest level.
