Product Introduction

‌G40 Galvanized Steel Sheet: Balanced Protection for Versatile Industrial Applications‌

G40 galvanized steel sheet offers a zinc coating weight of 40 grams per square foot (G40), equivalent to 275g/m² under ASTM A653 standards. Designed for moderate corrosion resistance, this hot-dip galvanized product combines affordability with reliable performance in environments ranging from dry indoor settings to moderately humid industrial zones.


‌Technical Specifications‌
Thickness: Available from ultra-thin 0.12mm (for electronic enclosures) to heavy-duty 6.00mm (structural beams), with ±0.03mm precision for high-volume stamping operations.
Width Options: 600mm to 1,500mm, compatible with automated roll-forming systems.
Coating Structure: Triple-layer zinc-iron alloy (Gamma, Delta, Zeta phases) providing 550-750 hours of salt spray resistance (ISO 9227).

‌Mechanical Performance‌

  • Yield Strength: 220-380 MPa (adjustable through temper rolling)
  • Tensile Strength: 300-500 MPa
  • Elongation: 22-36% (A80 specimen) for complex forming
  • Hardness: 55-75 HRB (Rockwell B Scale)

‌Manufacturing Process‌

The production begins with cold-rolled steel coils undergoing alkaline degreasing at 70°C. After annealing in a hydrogen-nitrogen atmosphere at 720°C, sheets are immersed in a 455°C zinc bath containing 0.18-0.22% aluminum. An air knife system controls coating thickness within ±3g/m² tolerance. Post-treatment options include chromate passivation (2-5µm thickness) or phosphate-oil combinations for enhanced paint adhesion.


‌Application Scenarios‌

  1. Agricultural Equipment: Grain silo roofs (0.7mm G40 withstands 1,200Pa snow loads)
  2. HVAC Systems: Air duct fabrication (0.5mm sheets with 180° seam folds)
  3. Retail Fixtures: Display racks (1.2mm material with powder-coated finishes)

For coastal environments, pairing G40 with 30µm epoxy primers extends service life to 15+ years. In automotive applications, the material’s bake-hardening capability increases yield strength by 40MPa during paint curing cycles.


‌Environmental Recommendations‌

  • Low-Risk Areas (Offices/Warehouses): 60g/m² coating (Z60) with oiling treatment
  • Moderate Corrosion (Urban/Industrial): 120g/m² (Z120) + chromate conversion
  • High Humidity (Food Processing): 275g/m² (Z275) + PVDF coating

The zinc-iron alloy layer demonstrates self-healing properties, reducing red rust formation by 80% at scratch sites compared to electrogalvanized alternatives.


‌Surface Treatment Options‌

  • Code C (Chromic Acid): Base protection for indoor storage
  • Code Q (Phosphate+Oiling): Pre-paint preparation solution
  • Code S (Sealed Chromate): Scratch resistance during transit

Cold-forming tests show G40 maintains coating integrity through 8mm bend radii (1t thickness). Laser cutting parameters recommend 4kW power at 6m/min speed for 2mm sheets.


‌Competitive Advantages‌

  • 25% cost savings vs. stainless steel 304 in mild environments
  • 300% longer lifespan than electrogalvanized sheets
  • Compatible with all major welding methods (MIG/TIG/resistance)

Third-party certifications include ISO 1461 for hot-dip galvanizing and RoHS compliance for electronics applications. Custom solutions support coil weights from 5-20 tons with VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) packaging for marine shipments.


‌Quality Assurance
Mill test certificates verify:

  • Coating weight uniformity (<±10% variation)
  • Spangle size control (60-120µm crystal structures)
  • Surface roughness (Ra 0.8-1.2µm for paint-ready finishes)

For architectural projects requiring aesthetic consistency, zero-spangle versions maintain 85+ gloss units (GU) measured at 60° angle.

This optimized balance of cost, durability, and formability makes G40 galvanized steel sheet a first-choice material for general manufacturing, construction, and appliance industries seeking reliable corrosion protection without premium pricing.
