S280GD Galvanized Steel Coil

 

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.

Properties

 

S280GD impresses with a balanced combination of high strength and good formability. The minimum yield strength Rp0.2 of 280 N/mm² and a characteristic tensile strength of at least 360 N/mm² ensure reliable load-bearing capacity even under dynamic load conditions. At the same time, the hot-dip galvanized surface enables an extended service life in corrosive environments.

 

The different cover variants offer specific advantages:

+Z (pure galvanized):
Standard corrosion protection for general conditions.

+ZF (zinc-iron):
Improved coating adhesion and increased resistance to mechanical stress.

+ZA (zinc-aluminium):
Optimized resistance in atmospheric environments.

+ZM (zinc-magnesium):
Extended protection in maritime and saline zones through passivating behavior.

+AZ (aluminum-zinc):
Combination of heat resistance and corrosion protection, ideal for high surface temperatures.

+AS (aluminum-silicon):
Especially for applications with extreme temperature influences and high corrosion loads.

 

S280GD is also characterized by its good weldability, homogeneous microstructure and reliable dimensional stability, which ensures precise further processing in profiling, bending and welding processes.
