Are you looking for durable galvanized steel plates for agricultural equipment in China? You've come to the right place. As a direct factory with 20 years of steel experience, GNEE Steel supplies agricultural-grade sheets at factory prices, built to withstand the harsh conditions of farm environments. Agricultural equipment operates in challenging settings-exposure to moisture, fertilizers, pesticides, and heavy workloads-so we've engineered our galvanized steel plates to offer exceptional corrosion resistance, strength, and longevity.
Galvanized steel plates
Galvanized steel plate is the material of choice for agricultural equipment due to its unique combination of properties. The zinc coating provides superior protection against rust and corrosion, even when exposed to chemicals and damp conditions commonly found in farming. It's used in a wide range of agricultural machinery and structures, including tractors, harvesters, combines, irrigation systems, storage bins, grain silos, livestock enclosures, and farm sheds. Our key grades for agriculture include Q235, SGCC, DX51D, and Q345, selected for their high strength, durability, and resistance to impact and wear.
Agricultural-Grade Galvanized Steel Plate Dimensions
Agricultural equipment varies widely in size and design, so we offer a comprehensive range of plate dimensions to fit different applications. Our standard sizes are designed to meet the needs of most equipment manufacturers, and we also provide custom cutting and fabrication services for projects requiring non-standard dimensions.
| Thickness (mm) | Width (mm) | Length (mm) | Zinc Coating (g/m²) | Agricultural Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.0-1.5 | 1000-1250 | 2000-4000 | 180-220 | Equipment bodies, hoods, small storage containers |
| 1.8-2.5 | 1200-1500 | 3000-6000 | 220-275 | Tractor frames, harvester components, irrigation pipes |
| 3.0-4.0 | 1500-1800 | 4000-10000 | 275 | Storage bins, grain silos, livestock enclosures, heavy-duty machinery frames |
| 5.0-8.0 | 1800-2000 | 6000-12000 | 350 | Large structural components, farm sheds, heavy equipment chassis |
We use high-quality base steel for our agricultural-grade plates, ensuring they can withstand heavy loads, impact, and repeated use. The zinc coating is applied using advanced hot-dip galvanizing technology, which ensures uniform coverage and strong adhesion to the steel substrate.
Corrosion Resistance for Agricultural Environments
Farm equipment faces some of the most corrosive environments, from damp soil and irrigation water to chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Our galvanized steel plates are tested to withstand these conditions, with zinc coating weights tailored to different exposure levels.
| Environment | Zinc Coating (g/m²) | Expected Service Life (Years) | Test Standard |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dry farmland | 180-220 | 15-20 | ASTM B117 |
| Humid farmland | 220-275 | 12-18 | ASTM B117 |
| Irrigation areas | 275 | 10-15 | ASTM B117 |
| Chemical exposure (fertilizers/pesticides) | 350 | 8-12 | ASTM B117 |
We also offer optional post-galvanizing treatments, such as passivation and sealing, to further enhance corrosion resistance for equipment used in highly corrosive environments.
