What is the difference between Galvalume and Galvanized steel?
Time : 2024-06-04
1. Different materials
Galvanized sheet: hot-rolled steel coils are made by pickling, galvanizing and other processes. The coating is mainly composed of zinc. In order to prevent the surface of the steel sheet from being corroded and extend its service life, a layer of metallic zinc is plated on the surface of the steel sheet.
Galvalume steel plate: It is made by melt-plating aluminum-zinc alloy on a cold-rolled substrate. The main components of the coating are aluminum and zinc. The surface shows a unique smooth, flat and gorgeous star flower, and the base color is silvery white. Its surface coating is made of 55% aluminum, 43.4% zinc and 1.6% silicon.
2. Different service life
The special coating structure makes it have excellent corrosion resistance. The normal service life of galvanized sheets is 2-6 times that of ordinary galvanized sheets.
3. Different performance
Galvalume sheets have better corrosion resistance than galvanized sheets. The aluminum component of galvalume-coated sheets plays a certain barrier role in the coating, making the galvalume-coated sheets more corrosion-resistant.
Galvanized sheets are prone to zinc film dissolution in humid environments, causing the substrate to rust. In addition, galvanizing also has better high temperature resistance and can maintain better mechanical properties at higher temperatures.
4. In terms of use
Galvalume sheets are widely used in construction, home appliances, automobile manufacturing and other industries, especially in the decoration of roofs, exterior walls and other buildings. Its surface can show a variety of different colors, and its color is stable and can meet different needs.
Galvanized sheets are mainly used in industry, agriculture, warehousing and other fields, such as making sinks, oil drums, chimneys, etc.
In general, there are some differences between galvanizing and galvanizing in terms of materials, performance and uses. Compared with zinc plating, aluminum zinc plating has a more complex material and has better corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance; while galvanizing is more used in some practical fields. No matter which material of board you choose, you need to make a reasonable choice according to the specific needs and use environment to achieve the best use effect.
