AZ50 Galvalume Steel Coil: Advanced 55% Al-Zn Coating for Superior Corrosion Resistance
AZ50 Galvanized Steel Coil Product Overview
AZ50 Galvalume Steel Coil is a hot-dip aluminum-zinc alloy-coated steel (55% Al, 43.5% Zn, 1.5% Si) engineered for extreme durability in harsh environments. With a 30–185 g/m² coating weight (equivalent to 8–45μm thickness), it outperforms traditional galvanized steel by 3–6x in salt spray resistance (1,500–3,000 hours vs. 500 hours). Ideal for roofing, automotive components, and appliances, its dual-phase Al-Zn-Si microstructure provides self-healing edge protection and a service life exceeding 25 years in coastal or industrial zones. Compliant with ASTM A792, EN 10346, and JIS G3321, it offers zero-spangle, anti-fingerprint, and chromate-free surface options.
Key Technical Specifications
1. Dimensional & Coating Properties
- Thickness: 0.12–6.00mm (±5% tolerance per ASTM A924)
- Width: 600–1,500mm (custom slit widths for HVAC ducts)
- Coating Types:
- AZ (Al-Zn): 50g/m² (13.3μm) standard for roofing
- ZM (Minimized Spangle): Ra ≤0.8μm for high-gloss appliances
- AM (Anti-Fingerprint): SiO₂ nano-coating (≤0.01g/m² residue)
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 Advantage:
- Phase Structure: Al-rich skeleton (75% volume) + Zn-Al eutectic (25%) for synergistic anti-corrosion
- Thermal Reflectivity: 80% (vs. 20% for galvanized steel), reducing rooftop temps by 10–15°C
