S280GD galvanized steel
S280GD galvanized steel is available in three primary forms at GNEE STEEL: coils, sheets, and strips. Each product form is designed to meet specific industry needs, offering various sizes and thicknesses suitable for a wide range of applications.
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.
