Project description
GP SHEET
Galvanized sheets come in a range of specifications, i.e., plain, corrugated, profiled and in coils. The thickness ranges from 0.15 mm to 1.60 mm and is suitable for varied applications. Sheets are normally produced in widths of 900 mm, 1000 mm and 1220 mm and in lengths as required by the customer. Galvanized Plain sheets can be supplied in coils weighing up to 10 metric tonnes. They are tough and sturdy, bright and gleaming, corrosion-proof and crack-free upon corrugation or fabrication. Continuous annealing at the Galvanizing Line renders a level of hardness that can be varied to suit customer needs and also makes the product ideally suited for a range of uses. Computer controlled processes ensure perfect zinc coating on the strips which helps in effective prevention of rust and also lengthens the product life. The sheets are made in different surface finishes, such as bright, dull or matt as per customer requirements. Spangles can be regular or minimum as required. Ispat’s hot-dip galvanized sheets can be subjected to bending and forming without the flaking of zinc. They can be easily welded and painted for added protection. Moreover, to suit specific requirements, these sheets can also be of drawing quality such as D/DD/EDD/Lock Forming nature.
Galvanization is the leading method to protect metals from environmental elements that cause corrosion, rust, and the eventual weakening of the steel.
Hot-dip galvanizing deposits a thick, robust layer of zinc iron alloys on the surface of a steel item. When exposed to the atmosphere, pure zinc reacts with oxygen to form zinc oxide which further reacts with carbon dioxide to form zinc carbonate. A dull, grey, fairly strong material that stops further corrosion in most circumstances, protecting the steel from the elements.
Galvanized steel is widely used in applications where rust resistance is needed. Galvanized steel can be welded however, you should exercise caution around the resulting fumes. Galvanized steel is commonly used in the automotive industry to enhance the corrosion performance of exterior body parts. Galvanized Steel is magnetic.
