Brief Introduction on Galvalume Steel Coil
ADTOMALL, the website which provides all kinds of construction materials, supplies the best one-stop purchasing service for you. Today, we ADTOMALL are invited to introduce the products of ours: Galvalume Steel Coil. Below we will make a simple introduction on Galvalume Steel Coil.
As we know, Galvalume steel coil is made in the same process the cold rolled steel coil made. Compared to Galvanized Steel Coil which is coated with a layer of aluminum, Galvalume steel coil is coated with an alloy mainly consisting of zinc and aluminum. Thus, it is different from the Galvanized steel coil which is only coated with zinc. Galvalume is highly resistant to corrosion. As zinc and aluminum have been proven to work well together to provide strong barrier protection on steel coils. Besides, it can be color coated to enhance its resistance to corrosion. In fact, color coated Galvalume steel coils last up to four times longer than other steel coil varieties.
Galvalume steel coils have a number of advantages above other cold rolled steel coil varieties. For instance, the Galvalume steel coils have a smoother and a more fluent surface compared to the hot dipped galvanized steel coil variety. Besides, its corrosion resistance property is superior to that of the galvanized variety. Galvalume steel coils are also known for their strong ability to withstand high temperatures. For instance, Galvalume can stand a temperature of up to 3150 without tarnishing. Besides, it can normally be applied for a long period at a temperature of 5000C.
The special properties of Galvalume steel coils make them ideal for a number of applications. For instance, its high resistance to corrosion makes it a material of choice industries such as petrochemical industries, construction industry, paper industry, and mechanical engineering. It is also be used to build structures in areas where corrosion is likely to happen such as in the sea. Since it is highly resistant to rust, it can be used for roofing. Automobile manufacturers apply it in heat shields, vent pipes, mobile mufflers, and bottom accessories. Galvalume steel coil is also used in home appliances such as HVAC systems, refrigerators, explosion proof steel strip, and ovens.
