Aluzinc

Aluminum-zinc or Aluzink coated steels

These products consist of a steel substrate over which a coating consisting of aluminum (55%) zinc (43.4%) and silica (1.6%) is applied by continuous hot dipping. Their main characteristic lies in their excellent corrosion resistance: several studies have shown that these steels, with the same coating thickness, have five times the resistance in salt spray than hot-dip galvanized steels. In addition, these products have a particularly pleasing appearance, excellent light and heat reflectivity, and remarkable abrasion resistance.

In acidic environments (such as urban or marine), the surface remains unaffected up to 315°C. Conversely, use in basic pH atmospheres and on livestock farms is not recommended.

Areas of use:

• Heating
• Household appliances
• Radiation
• Air ducts
• Panels
• Computers
• Electrical cabinets
• Roofing tiles

Technical supply conditions:

They can be supplied with special requirements for coating finish, surface appearance and surface protection.

The coating finish exhibits a normal, shiny, silver-colored stellation resulting from the growth of aluminum-zinc crystals during solidification.

The surface appearance can be type A, B or C; unless otherwise requested at the time of order, the material is supplied with appearance A.

Whatever the type of protection, it is very important that during transportation and storage the materials avoid contact with moisture or water as much as possible and be kept in a dry environment.

These steels are available in different ranges of properties, from commercial (DX51D) to deep drawing (DX54D, DX56D), to structural application products (S250GD) and high-strength grades (HX340LAD).
