Galvalume steel coil offers excellent corrosion resistance

 

Click to get today's price list!

Galvalume steel coil uses cold-rolled or hot-rolled steel as a substrate. Through a continuous hot-dip coating process, a layer of alloy coating composed of aluminum, zinc, and a small amount of silicon is deposited on the substrate. Combining the advantages of aluminum and zinc, it offers excellent corrosion resistance and good workability, making it a highly efficient and economical corrosion-resistant steel.

 

As the foundation for galvalume steel coil, the substrate is typically made of high-quality cold-rolled or hot-rolled steel. Cold-rolled substrates offer a smooth surface and high thickness accuracy, making them suitable for applications requiring high appearance and machining precision. Hot-rolled substrates offer higher strength and a relatively lower cost, making them ideal for applications requiring high strength but less demanding appearance.

Excellent Corrosion Resistance

 

Galvalume steel coil's corrosion resistance is one of its most prominent properties, far exceeding that of traditional hot-dip galvanized steel coil.

  • Barrier Protection: The aluminum in the coating forms a dense aluminum oxide film on the surface of the steel coil. This stable film effectively blocks contact between oxygen, moisture, carbon dioxide, and other corrosive media, acting like a protective shield for the substrate, ultimately slowing corrosion.

 

  • Sacrificial Anodic Protection: When the coating is scratched or damaged, exposing the substrate, the zinc in the coating preferentially undergoes electrochemical corrosion, providing sacrificial anodic protection and preventing corrosion. This "self-healing" protective mechanism significantly extends the service life of the steel coil.

 

  • Salt Spray and Acid Rain Resistance: Galvalume steel coils perform exceptionally well in coastal environments with salt spray or in industrial areas subject to frequent acid rain. Testing has shown that their salt spray resistance is 3-5 times that of ordinary hot-dip galvanized steel coils. In neutral salt spray tests, they can withstand over 1,000 hours without developing red rust. They also effectively resist acid rain with a pH of 4.0-6.0, minimizing corrosion damage.
