AZ150 Galvalume steel sheet is a type of steel sheet coated with an alloy consisting of approximately 55% aluminum, 43.4% zinc, and 1.6% silicon. The “AZ150” designation refers to the coating weight, indicating 150 grams of coating per square meter (total for both sides).
Key Features and Benefits
- Corrosion Resistance: The aluminum-zinc alloy provides excellent corrosion resistance, offering a longer lifespan compared to galvanized steel, especially in harsh environments.
- Heat Reflectivity: Galvalume reflects a high percentage of heat, which can contribute to energy savings in building applications.
- Durability: The coating is durable and resistant to scratching and abrasion.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Galvalume has a bright, silvery appearance.
- Formability: It can be easily formed and fabricated into various shapes without significant damage to the coating.
Applications
AZ150 Galvalume steel sheet is widely used in a variety of applications, including:
- Roofing and siding for buildings
- Appliances
- Automotive components
- HVAC equipment
- Industrial equipment
