Galvanized steel coil is a special type of steel coil used in a number of different applications within water pipelines. Steel coil of any kind is flat stock that is thin enough to be rolled into a coil or wound into a continuous roll. It is also able to be rolled out flat and cut at any length or shape needed. Having the steel coil galvanized helps the user by allowing it to be applied in outdoor water pipeline projects.

Galvanized steel coil can be used outside for diverse applications especially for water pipelines because of its natural ability to avoid rust. Galvanized pipelines has been coated with zinc and this coating protects the steel from corrosion. It is most commonly used for outdoor and underground constructions.

Manufacturing of Hot Dip Galvanized Steel Coil:

Pay off reel → Double cut shear → Welder-notcher → Entry accumulator → Pre-cleaning section → Furnace → Hot bridle → Zinc pot → Air knife → After cooler → Water quench → Dryer → Skin pass mill → Dryer → Tension leveler → Dryer → Chemical coater → Chemical oven → Cooler → Exit accumulator → Oiler → Exit shear → Tension reel

What is Galvanized Steel?

There are two typical galvanizing ways to obtain a zinc coating: hot dip galvanizing and electrogalvanizing. Hot dip galvanizing is the process that steel is immersed into molten zinc bath to get a zinc coating surface. This not only helps protect steel from rust and corrosion, but also gives the steel a shiny attractive appearance. Electrogalvanizing is the process that uses electrolysis to coat the steel with zinc, which is neither cost-effective nor environmentally friendly. It is hardly to find electrogalvanized steel in our lives nowadays.

What are advantages of Galvanized Steel?

Because of permanently and successive zinc/iron alloy layers, galvanized steel offers many benefits that traditional steels don't. 

1) Corrosion Resistance: the zinc coating surface protects the base steel not only by providing barrier to corrosion elements, but also by the sacrificial nature of the coating. Galvanized steel often remains in working order with little maintenance for 40 years or more.

2) Excellent Surface Appearance

3) Formability: it can be simply bend to parts with deep drawing requirements

4) Paintability: it can be painted with different colors

5) Weldability: it is accepted various welding practices

What are disadvantages of Galvanized Steel?

In spite of many benefits, galvanized steel is not always an ideal choice. Galvanized steel cannot be used underground without being properly covered, which can be inconvenient for many jobs.

Where do we use Galvanized Steel?

It is primarily used in the construction industry, such as roofing, wall cladding, and support beams. It is also used in the automotive industry, due to its enhanced paintability, weldability and corrosion resistance. Moreover, it is an essential material for white goods application, such as refrigerators, air-conditioners, washers, microwaves, vending machines and audio visual systems.
