Galvanized Sheet Metal Properties

Uni en 10326 2004 continuously hot dip strip and sheet of structural steels technical delivery conditions.

Galvanized sheet metal properties. Thus the tensile strength proof strength and tensile elongation of cold rolled steel were unaffected except that the tensile elongation of 40 cold rolled steel tended to be increased by galvanizing. Mostly the same as the steel it is made from i e. There are three types of hardness. Generally the hardness of steel increases with the increase of carbon content in steel.

1 t bends in many of the steels were embrittled by galvanizing but galvanized 2 t and 3 t bends in all steels could be completely straightened without cracking. Galvanized steel is among the most popular steel types because of its extended durability having the strength and formability of steel plus the corrosion protection of the zinc iron coating. Properties of galvanized steel. Galvanized steel is produced by coating the steel in zinc.

The properties of galvanized steel are a unique combination that make it ideal for use in interior and exterior applications such as car bodies appliances nuts and bolts roofs and rebar. Galvanized steel sheet plates are intended for use where greater corrosion protection is required without painting. Galvanized steel stainless steel. Galvanizing characteristics of structural steels and their weldments chapter four.

Strength modulus of elasticity toughness elongation formability thermal conductivity electrical conductivity magnetic attraction except that it is more corrosion resistant and cannot be welded. A lower cost alternative to stainless steel galvanized sheet and plates have a rust free protection for up to 30 years while maintaining strength with a durable surface coating. By bnf metals technology centre and ilzro testing conducted in this study determined hot dip galvanizing does not affect tensile strength proof strength bend or impact properties of structural steels.
