Today is Spring Begins, the first one of the 24 Chinese Traditional Solar Terms. We take today as the start of Spring. It will be warmer and warmer.
People will start to plant shortly. A new beginning is always cheerful.
Hope we could swipe away all the bitterness in the past and have a great new year of 2021.
For our company, we will serve our client better and better. To supply them quality Galvanized, galvalume and prepainted steel and to grow together with our clients.
Galvanized steel is steel coated with zinc layer on both sides, in which way it could achieve a better anti-corrosion property.
Two types
1. Electric galvanized
2. Hot-dip galvanized
When you know the Galvanized steel, it is much easy to get an idea for Aluzinc steel.
By the way, this same product is also called Zinclume or Galvalume. They are just different trade name for same product.
Galvalume and galvanized, the only difference is on the metallic coating.
For GI, the metallic coating is zinc layer on both sides, while for Galvalume, we call it GL as an easy way, the metallic coating is an aluminium-Zinc & silicon alloy on both side.
Why bother to change the metallic coating?
The reason is GL steel gives the material much-improved corrosion resistance. Aluzinc steel coatings out-perform galvanized coatings from 2 – 6 times. This is achieved through the combination of the sacrificial protection of the zinc and the barrier protection of the aluminum. The hot-dip-galvanized coating initially protects better but the zinc coat will gradually corrode away more and more in the vicinity of the edge and the protective effect will be lost. Then the aluminum part of the Aluzinc coating will persist for a longer period of time, and the protection will thereby remain.
