Bending after hot-dip galvanizing is sometimes necessary if the parts do not fit into their intended spot. When galvanized steel is bent after the coating has formed, there is no issue with cold work, but there can be an issue with the coating cracking or crazing in the area of the bend.
Q
How long does galvanized sheet metal last?
A
The zinc coating of hot-dipped galvanized steel will last in the harshest soil is 35 to 50 years and in less corrosive soil 75 years or more. Although humidity affects corrosion, temperature itself has less of an impact. Galvanized zinc coatings respond well in extreme cold and hot temperatures.
Q
What is the difference between GI and SS?
A
Galvanized steel is steel that features a zinc coating, which helps to create a barrier between the steel and the air and moisture, protecting it from rust. Stainless steel is steel that is mixed with at least 10% chromium to create an alloy that is corrosion-resistant, as well as bacteria-resistant.
Q
What is the difference between DX51D Z100 and other zinc coating weights?
A
Different zinc coating weights represent different zinc coating thickness and performance. Z100 means the zinc coating weight is 100 grams per square meter, so its zinc coating may be thicker and more durable than other specifications.
Q
What is the manufacturing process for the DX51D Z100 product?
A
DX51D Z100 steel is usually manufactured through a hot-dip galvanizing process, which involves dipping the steel sheet into molten zinc to form a uniform zinc coating.
Q
What does DX51D Z100 mean?
A
DX51D refers to the material specification standard for the steel, while Z100 refers to the quality grade of the zinc coating. In this case, Z100 means the zinc coating weight is 100 grams per square meter.
Q
What are the application fields of galvanized products?
A
Galvanized products are widely used in construction, manufacturing, automotive industry, agriculture and home decoration, including building structures, home appliances, pipelines, vehicle parts, etc.
Q
What is the difference between galvanized products and ordinary steel products?
A
Galvanized products have better corrosion resistance than ordinary steel products, which can extend service life and reduce maintenance costs. In addition, the appearance of galvanized products is more beautiful and suitable for a variety of indoor and outdoor environments.
