Galvanized steel coils represent a cornerstone material in modern industrial applications, renowned for their exceptional strength, durability, and, most notably, superior corrosion resistance. Produced by coating flat rolled steel with a protective layer of zinc, these coils provide an invaluable barrier against rust and environmental degradation, making them indispensable for both indoor and demanding outdoor environments. Their versatility makes them a critical component across various sectors, from construction to high-tech manufacturing.

Key Features & Material Excellence

• Material Composition & Base Steel Grades:
  Our galvanized steel coils are meticulously produced from high-quality carbon steel, primarily adhering to international standards such as ASTM A653, JIS G3302, and EN 10346. Common base steel grades include Commercial Quality (CQ), Drawing Quality (DQ), and various Structural Grades, chosen based on the intended application’s formability and strength requirements.
• Advanced Galvanization Processes:
  The zinc coating is applied through two primary, advanced methods:
  • Hot-Dip Galvanizing (HDG): This process involves immersing the cleaned steel coil into a bath of molten zinc. The metallurgical bond formed between the steel and zinc creates a robust, sacrificial coating that protects the steel even if scratched. HDG offers excellent long-term protection.
  • Electro-Galvanizing (EG): In this method, zinc is electro-deposited onto the steel surface. This results in a thinner, highly uniform coating with exceptional surface finish, making it ideal for applications requiring superior paintability and precise forming.
• Superior Corrosion Resistance:
  The inherent anti-corrosion properties of galvanized steel are exceptional. The zinc layer acts as both a passive barrier, preventing moisture and oxygen from reaching the steel, and provides cathodic protection, sacrificially corroding itself to protect the underlying steel even if minor damage occurs to the coating. This dual-action protection significantly extends the material’s lifespan.
• Optimized Mechanical Properties:
  Engineered for durability and performance, our galvanized coils exhibit excellent tensile strength, yield strength, and remarkable formability. This makes them highly adaptable for a wide range of fabrication processes including bending, stamping, and deep drawing, without compromising the integrity of the zinc coating.
• Variety of Surface Finishes & Treatments:
  To meet diverse aesthetic and functional demands, our galvanized steel coils are available with various surface finishes:
  • Regular Spangle (RS): The natural, crystalline pattern formed during solidification of the zinc.
  • Minimized Spangle (MS): Achieved through a specific cooling process, resulting in a smaller, less prominent spangle, providing a smoother surface ideal for certain painting applications.
  • Zero Spangle (ZS) / Skin-Passed: A virtually spangle-free, very smooth surface, obtained through specific processing, making it ideal for applications requiring superior paint adhesion and a pristine finish.

  Additionally, coils can be supplied with various surface treatments such as chromating, oiling, or anti-fingerprint (AFP) coatings for enhanced protection during transit and storage, and improved paintability.

Detailed Specifications

• Thickness Range:
  Our coils are available in a comprehensive thickness range, typically from 0.18 mm to 3.0 mm, with precise tolerances maintained according to international standards (e.g., +/- 0.02mm for thinner gauges). This broad range caters to light-duty applications as well as structural components.
• Width Options:
  Standard widths range from 600 mm to 1500 mm. We also offer capabilities for custom slitting to meet specific project requirements and optimize material utilization for our customers.
• Zinc Coating Weight (Grams per Square Meter – g/m2):
  Coating weights can vary significantly to suit environmental exposure and application needs, ranging from Z40/AZ40 (40 g/m2) up to Z275/AZ275 (275 g/m2) per side, or total. We adhere strictly to coating weight standards such as ASTM A653, JIS G3302, and EN 10346, ensuring tailored protection levels.
• Coil Weight & Dimensions:
  Coil weights typically range from 3 to 10 metric tons, depending on the thickness, width, and customer handling/processing capabilities. Standard Coil Inner Diameter (ID) is 508 mm or 610 mm, and Outer Diameter (OD) varies with coil weight.
