G40 Galvanized Coil Product Overview
The G40 Galvanized Coil (ASTM A653 designation) features a total zinc coating weight of 40 oz/ft² (≈122 g/m²), delivering 8–12 years of corrosion resistance in moderate environments. Produced via continuous hot-dip galvanizing at 450–465°C, this cold-rolled carbon steel substrate achieves 220–550 MPa yield strength with ≥15% elongation, making it ideal for roofing, HVAC systems, and agricultural equipment. Compliant with ASTM A653 (G40) and EN 10346 (Z120), it bridges affordability and performance, offering 30% lower lifecycle costs than stainless steel.
