What Are The Properties Of Galvalume Steel?

The application of metallic coatings by the continuous process of hot dipping is one of the most used forms for protection of steel. In this process, the metal strip is continuously immersed in a molten metal bath. Among the metal coatings suitable to the application of the heat immersion process, we can mention the Galvalume alloy.

Galvalume is a steel sheet coated with 55%Al43,5%Zn1,5%Si alloy and combines aluminum durability with galvanic zinc protection, providing excellent resistance to corrosion in marine and industrial environments compared to existing zinc coatings on the market, resistance to oxidation at high temperatures and superior thermal reflectivity associated with a pleasant and distinctive look compared to other similar coatings. Its characteristics of formability, weldability and painting ease, associated with its mechanical properties, make it appropriate for applications in several segments.

Galvalume coating obtained by standard solidification of the deposited layer, resulting in a surface with crystals visible to the naked eye.

This type of coating is recommended for general use, particularly for applications in the construction industry, major appliances and auto parts.
