Zero spangle skin passed galvanized steel refers to galvanized steel that undergoes an additional skin pass process after the initial galvanization. The skin pass process involves carefully applying tension to the steel strip as it passes through rolls, resulting in a flattened and refined surface. This additional step eliminates the crystalline spangle patterns typically seen on galvanized steel, creating a smooth and matte-like appearance.
What Is Spangle on Galvanized Steel?
Spangle is a unique and desirable feature that appears on galvanized steel during the hot-dipped galvanizing process. It occurs when liquid zinc cools and solidifies, resulting in crystal grains forming on the steel's surface. These crystal grains create a beautiful snowflake or hexagonal star appearance that adds visual appeal to the steel. That is spangle on galvanized steel.
The size, brightness, and topography of the spangle depend on various factors, including the composition of the zinc layer and the cooling method used during the galvanizing process. At GNEE Steel, we are able to offer big, regular, and zero spangle galvanized steel, giving you the flexibility to choose the look that best suits your needs. Contact us today for more information!
