What are Galvanized steels used for?

Galvanized steel is used extensively in industrial production, mainly due to its good properties. In order to make the most of the good properties of seamless steel, it is sometimes necessary to galvanise the hot-dip galvanized steel. However, many people do not know how to properly care for galvanized steel, and this article will give a brief introduction to galvanized steel.

Where can galvanized steels be used?

Galvanized steels can be used in a wide range of applications in the construction, light industry, automotive, agriculture and fishery industries as well as in the commercial sector. The advantages of hot-dip galvanising are its longevity and the wide range of environments in which it can be used. With the development of industry, hot-dip galvanised products have been used in many fields. The advantages of hot-dip galvanising are that it is a long-lasting and environmentally friendly anti-corrosion treatment that has been very popular.

The basic classification of galvanized steels.

Hot dipped galvanised  steel

This is the most common type of galvanized steels, which are thin steel sheets that have been dipped into a molten zinc bath to create a layer of zinc adhering to their surface. Currently it is mainly produced using the continuous galvanising process, whereby rolls of steel are continuously dipped into a bath of molten zinc to produce galvanized steel.

Alloyed galvanized steel

This type of steel is also manufactured by the hot dipping method, but immediately after leaving the bath, it is heated to around 500°C to produce an alloyed coating of zinc and iron. This type of galvanized steel has good paint adhesion and weldability.

Electro-galvanized steel

This galvanized steel is manufactured by the electroplating method and has good workability. However, the coating is thin and the corrosion resistance is not as good as that of galvanised sheet by the hot dip method. In fact, cold galvanised pipes are electro-galvanised, with very little galvanisation, and their own corrosion resistance is much worse than that of hot dip galvanised pipes. Most of the regular galvanized pipe manufacturers do not use galvanized zinc in order to ensure quality. Only those small enterprises with small scale and obsolete equipment use galvanized zinc, and of course their prices are relatively cheaper.

galvanized steel is a type of steel that has been galvanised to prevent corrosion and rusting and to prolong the life of the steel, which is divided into galvanised and hot-dipped galvanised. We recommend that when purchasing galvanized steel you understand the characteristics of each type of galvanized steel to avoid compromising on its use.

What are the advantages of galvanized steels?

Galvanized steel performs particularly well in areas that are not regularly washed by rain, which means that it is highly resistant to corrosion. In addition, the galvanised coating is metallurgically bonded to the steel and forms part of the steel surface, so that the durability of the coating is more reliable. All in all, galvanized steel offers the advantages of high dimensional accuracy, good surface quality, ease of processing and material savings.
