● Galvanized Steel Coil is a steel product manufactured by continuously hot-dipping cold-rolled or hot-rolled steel coil in a molten zinc bath to coat it with a layer of pure zinc. This robust zinc layer effectively isolates the steel substrate from corrosive environments, providing outstanding corrosion resistance and an extended service life. The product features a uniform, bright surface and offers excellent mechanical properties, good formability, and cost-effectiveness. As a fundamental raw material, it is widely used in construction, automotive, home appliance, and container manufacturing industries, and also serves as an ideal substrate for further processing into products like color coated sheets.
Steel Grade / Base Metal Type
Structural Quality (SQ)
Drawing Quality (DQ)
Extra Deep Drawing Quality (EDDQ)
Common grades: DX51D, DX52D, DX53D, DX54D (According to European Standard EN 10346)
Substrate Thickness
Commonly used range: 0.3mm ~ 1.5mm
Substrate Width
Conventional Range: 600mm ~ 1250mm
Can be customized according to customer requirements.
Coating Type
Hot-Dip Galvanized (GI): Pure zinc coating, provides cathodic protection.
Galvalume (GL): Coating composition: ~55% Al, 43.4% Zn, 1.6% Si. Better corrosion resistance than GI.
Coating Weight/Thickness - Core Parameter
Unit: g/m² (Total both sides)
Common designations:
Z60 | Z100 | Z120 | Z150 | Z180 | Z225
e.g., Z120 indicates a total coating mass of 120 g/m², typically about 60 g/m² per side.
Conversion: Approximately 50 g/m² (total both sides) ≈ 7.1 µm (total coating thickness).
Surface Treatment
Chromate Passivation (C): Standard treatment, provides basic anti-rust capability.
Chromium-Free Passivation (F): Environmentally friendly treatment.
Oiling (O): Provides short-term rust prevention and lubrication.
Anti-Fingerprint (AF): Used in appliances, improves surface appearance and stain resistance.
Surface Finish
Regular Spangle (R)
Minimal Spangle (M)
Spangle-Free (F): Typically used for subsequent painting.
Skin-Passed (S): Smoother surface, suitable for deep drawing or painting.
