The hot-dip galvalume steel is a kind of coated steel. With the cold rolled steel of different strength and thickness as substrate, it is produced through applying the Al-Zn coat on both faces by the hot-dip process. In its coating, Al accounts for about 55%, Si 1.6%, while the remaining is Zn. It enjoys both the physical protective feature and durability of Al and the electrochemical protective property of Zn. And its surface has a bright silver color and regular embossed-like figures, which are highly decorative.
Al-Zn coated steel sheet has better performance in corrosion resistance than the GI sheet of the same thickness and its service life is 1-5 times longer than the general GI sheet.
The Baosteel’s hot-dip Al-Zn coated steel sheets have been used for Corrugated Steel Roofing Sheet, Insulated Sandwich Panel and many other building materials.
