FAQs:
What are the main types of galvanized steel sheets available?
Galvanized steel sheets are primarily categorized by galvanizing process: Hot-Dip Galvanized (HDG) for thick zinc layers and high corrosion resistance; Electro-Galvanized (EG) for thin, smooth surfaces; and Galvannealed (GA) for zinc-iron alloy layers with good weldability. They also vary by substrate type (cold-rolled or hot-rolled) and surface treatment.
How is the production process for hot-dip galvanized sheets carried out?
The production process for hot-dip galvanized sheets involves continuous automated steps: substrate pre-treatment (uncoiling, cleaning, degreasing), annealing at 800-900°C in a reducing atmosphere, immersion in 450°C molten zinc for coating, zinc layer control using air knives, optional passivation, and final slitting and coiling after quality inspection.
What are the typical applications and service life of these galvanized steel sheets?
HDG sheets are used in construction and outdoor facilities, EG sheets for home appliances and interior parts, and GA sheets for auto bodies. With proper use, these sheets offer a service life of 10-20 years, supported by their corrosion-resistant zinc coatings and robust production standards.
