DX51D Z150 Galvanized Sheet

Galvanized sheet is a type of steel that is coated with zinc for protection by an electroplating process. The galvanized layer is applied to cold rolled steel at low temperatures. Zinc is generally represented by Z. Z is the abbreviation of English Zinc. For example, the Z80 surface zinc plating content is 80 grams per square. Z150 means that the galvanizing content is 150 grams per square meter, and so on. The number after Z indicates the average coating content at three points on both sides of the galvanized steel in grams per square meter. The general materials of hot-dip galvanizing on the market are: Z80, Z100, Z120, Z140, Z180, Z275, etc.

Applications of hot dipped Galvanized Steel Sheet

Galvanized steel is versatile in construction, furniture, home appliances, and the automobile industry due to its durability and affordable price.

Construction industry – Due to its lightweight and durability, galvanized steel has been popular for over a century as building material, especially for roofing, floor deck and wall uses. Because of its aesthetics, it is suitable for different architectural styles. Besides, it is also widely used in fencing, grilles, gutters, rolling doors, pipes, etc.

Automobile industry – The hot-dip galvanized sheets for the automobile industry are mostly from 0.6 mm to 1.2 mm in thickness. About 80% of the car body is made of galvanized steel because of its anti-corrosion. Also, it is also used to make shells, roofs, and floors of carriages, containers, etc.

Light industry, includes the casing of home appliances, chimneys, kitchenware, etc. It can be also found in agricultural uses or the furniture industry, such as granaries, billboards, etc.

1. What is the thickness of GI sheet?
The common thickness of the GI sheet is 0.12 mm – 1.5 mm. At Wanzhi Steel, we have quality galvanized sheets for sale from 0.12 mm to 4 mm. You can choose according to your needs.

2. Does galvanized sheet rust?
Yes. But it doesn't corrode very quickly because of the protective zinc layer. The zinc forms a barrier preventing oxygen and water from the base metal. But when the zinc layer is broken, the base steel sheet will rust. Generally, the thicker the zinc coating, the better the corrosion resistance, and the slower it will rust.

3. How long does galvanized sheet last?
It will last 30-50 years, and even longer, which is mainly influenced by the use environment, zinc coating thickness, etc.

4. What is better stainless steel or galvanized sheet?
In terms of corrosion resistance and durability, the SS sheet will be better than GI sheet. Also, the strength of SS is greater. That is, stainless steel is stronger. While the SS sheet price will be much higher as well. Besides, GI steel is more ductile, which means it is easier to work with. You can choose according to the use purposes and budget.

5. Is galvanized metal sheet heavy?
Actually, the galvanized sheet is not heavy. As mentioned, the GI sheet weight per square (1mm in thickness) is about 7.85 kg. Compared to traditional building materials, GI sheet is much lighter. That's why it is widely used as a roofing material.

6. What is galvanized metal sheet made of?
Galvanized sheet is made of iron or steel and zinc coating.
