Hot Dip Galvalume Steel Coil: Superior Corrosion Resistance for Construction & Industrial Applications
Hot Dip Galvanized Steel Coil Product Overview
Hot Dip Galvalume Steel Coil is a 55% aluminum-zinc alloy-coated steel (55% Al, 43.5% Zn, 1.5% Si) designed for extreme weather resistance. With a 30–185 g/m² coating weight (equivalent to 8–45μm thickness), it outperforms traditional galvanized steel by 2–4x in salt spray tests (1,500–3,000 hours vs. 720 hours). Ideal for roofing, automotive parts, and appliances, it combines self-healing切口 protection with a lifespan exceeding 25 years in coastal environments. Compliant with ASTM A792, EN 10346, and JIS G3321, it offers zero-spangle, anti-fingerprint, and chromate-free surface options.
Key Technical Specifications
