Steel Knowledge

GALVALUME® Steel is carbon steel coated with aluminum-zinc alloy by a hot-dip process. The coating composition is 55% aluminum, 43.4% zinc and 1.6% silicon. Silicon is added not to enhance the corrosion performance, but to provide good coating adhesion to the base steel substrate when the product is roll-formed, drawn, or bent during fabrication. [...]

Galvanizing is a corrosion protection process for steel. It's used to protecting steel from rusting. The galvanization process entails immersing clean, oxide-free iron or steel into molten zinc in order to form a zinc coating that is metallurgically bonded to the steel's surface. Galvanized steel can be applied on wide range of products because of [...]
