(ASTM A527/A653) Galvanized Steel Sheets are intended for usewhere greater corrosion protection is required without painting. Galvanized steel is carbon steel coated with zinc on two sides. The process used to do this is known as the continuous hot dip process. This process results in a layer of zinc which adheres tightly to the base steel and has a spangled, or snowflake-type, appearance. The layer of zinc acts as a sacrificial coating. Galvanized Steel Sheets are easy to weld, form, and drill . With a typical protection life span of 20 years, Galvanized Steel Sheets are ideal for a wide range of outdoor applications, or for decorative interior design.Magnetic, Brinell = 95, Tensile = 52,000, Yield = 38,000 (+/-)
Applications
Galvanized sheet can be used bare, prepainted or postpainted. It is easy to fabricate and stamp and is used for applications that require corrosion resistance. These include:HVAC equipment, Automotive parts, Electrical boxes, Enclosures and housings, Prefab and metal buildings, Roofing, Outdoor signs, Playground equipment, Equipment and machinery.
A653 Galvanized Sheet Characteristics and Applications
Galvanized steel is carbon steel coated with zinc on two sides. The process used to do this is known as the continuous hot dip process. This process results in a layer of zinc which adheres tightly to the base steel and has a spangled or snowflake-type appearance. The layer of zinc acts as a sacrificial coating. A653 galvanized sheet and coil can be used bare, prepainted or postpainted. It can be used in most fabrication processes, much like uncoated flat rolled sheet. Typically, galvanized sheet and coil are used in applications where corrosion resistance is important: air conditioning equipment, automotive parts, display cases, electrical boxes, farm buildings, equipment and machinery, garbage cans, heating equipment, mailboxes, outdoor signs, playground equipment, prefab buildings, roofing, and vending machines are just a few examples.
