Galvanized steel is produced by coating the steel in zinc.
Galvanised steel sheet properties.
Alloyed coating a 25.
While molten zinc solidifies on the surface of the steel sheet normal zinc crystallization is suppressed creating fine crystals.
The zinc protects the base metal by acting as a barrier to corrosive elements and the sacrificial nature of the coating results in a long lasting and high quality steel product.
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.
Its good plating reliability rust inhibition and cost effectiveness make it ideal for many industries.

Gi takes place on a cold rolled plate and gi h takes place on a hot rolled plate.
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.
