S280GD Galvanized Steel
Hot-dip galvanized steel S280GD in accordance with the EN 10346 standard is a high-quality structural steel that has been specially developed for use in structural engineering and building construction. With the material number 1.0244, S280GD has a minimum yield strength Rp0.2 of 280 N/mm² and thus joins the higher strength classes of galvanized structural steels. Hot-dip galvanizing in accordance with EN 10346 guarantees a uniform zinc coating on the steel surface, which effectively protects the base material against corrosion. Thanks to the various coating systems (+Z, +ZF, +ZA, +ZM, +AZ and +AS), the material can be precisely adapted to different climatic and mechanical stresses.

S280GD Steel Properties
High Corrosion Resistance:
The hot-dip galvanizing process creates a durable zinc coating that effectively prevents rust, ensuring the steel can withstand prolonged exposure to humidity and wet conditions.
Enhanced Structural Stability:
S280GD maintains its mechanical performance under both static and dynamic loads, making it reliable for load-bearing frameworks and dynamic structures like bridges and cranes.
Excellent Formability:
This steel grade can be easily shaped into complex components such as roofing profiles, wall cladding, and structural panels without cracking or losing surface quality.
Strong Coating Adhesion:
The zinc coating is tightly bonded to the steel surface, ensuring long-term corrosion protection even after cutting, bending, or forming.
Outstanding Weather Resistance:
S280GD resists environmental wear in harsh climates, including prolonged exposure to rain, snow, and temperature fluctuations, ensuring a consistent performance over time.
High Heat Reflectivity and Insulation Capability:
Its surface can reflect a significant amount of radiant heat, helping to maintain stable interior temperatures in structures and making it an effective material for energy-efficient roofing or insulation.
