AZ150 Galvanized Steel Coil: Advanced 55% Al-Zn Coating for Extreme Corrosion Resistance
AZ150 Galvanized Steel Coil Product Overview
AZ150 Galvanized Steel Coil is a hot-dip aluminum-zinc alloy-coated steel engineered for harsh industrial and coastal environments. With a 55% aluminum, 43.4% zinc, and 1.6% silicon coating, it delivers 3–5x longer corrosion resistance than standard galvanized steel. The unique dual-phase microstructure—composed of an aluminum-rich skeleton (75% volume) and zinc-aluminum eutectic (25%)—provides self-healing edge protection, ensuring durability even when exposed to scratches or trimmed edges. Compliant with ASTM A792, EN 10346, and JIS G3321, it is ideal for roofing, automotive components, and structural applications requiring high strength (550 MPa tensile) and thermal reflectivity (80%).

2. Chemical Composition
Element | Al (%) | Zn (%) | Si (%) | Fe (%) | Trace Elements (max) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Content | 55–58 | 41–43 | 1.5–2 | ≤0.25 | Pb:0.05, Cr:0.05, Ni:0.05 |
Coating Advantages:
- Salt Spray Resistance: 3,000+ hours (ASTM B117) without red rust.
- Thermal Reflectivity: 80% (vs. 20% for galvanized steel), reducing rooftop temps by 10–15°C.
- Self-Healing Mechanism: Zinc ions migrate to exposed edges, forming a protective layer.
