Frequently Asked Questions
Galvanized steel coil is cold-rolled or hot-rolled steel sheet coated with a layer of zinc through a continuous hot-dip galvanizing process. The zinc coating provides corrosion protection and improves durability for various industrial applications.
Common zinc coating designations include G30, G40, G60, G90, Z120, Z180, and Z275. The appropriate coating weight depends on corrosion exposure, product requirements, and applicable standards.
Common international standards include ASTM A653/A653M, EN 10346, and JIS G 3302. Each standard specifies requirements for coating, steel grades, mechanical properties, and product dimensions.
GI steel coils have a zinc coating, while GL (Galvalume) steel coils have an aluminum-zinc alloy coating. They differ in coating composition, corrosion performance, heat resistance, and typical applications.
Service life depends on zinc coating weight, environmental conditions, humidity, and exposure to corrosive substances. Higher zinc coating weights generally provide longer corrosion protection under comparable conditions.
