Galvanized(GI) & Galvalume(GL) Steel Coils

GI Galvanized and GL Galvalume steel coils are hot-dip anti-corrosion coated carbon steel coils. GI adopts pure zinc coating, while GL features 55%Al-43.4%Zn-1.6%Si alloy coating. Featuring strong adhesion, easy profiling and low cost, we supply full coating weight grades, offer slitting, cutting and custom processing for construction, home appliance and metal manufacturing industries.

Available Grades

  • DX51D+Z GI Common Forming Grade: Standard hot dipped galvanized grade, superior bending and stamping performance, the most used grade for general roofing, profiling and metal fabricated parts.
  • DX52D+AZ GL Deep Drawing Grade: Premium galvalume forming grade, uniform spangle surface, no coating crack during deep drawing, ideal for home appliance shell deep processing.
  • G30/G60/G90 Regular GI Grade: Classified by zinc coating weight, G90 with thick zinc layer delivers better anti-rust performance for outdoor exposed structural usage.
  • AZ50/AZ150 Standard GL Grade: Graded by aluminum-zinc coating mass, thick AZ coating provides 2-6 times longer service life than equal-weight GI for coastal projects.
  • S350GD High Strength GI/GL Grade: Structural high-hardness coated coil, high yield strength, designed for load-bearing roof purlin, steel frame and engineering bearing components.

Product Features

  • Dual Anti-corrosion Mechanism: GI pure zinc provides sacrificial protection; GL aluminum-zinc alloy forms dense oxide barrier, resisting oxidation, rust and slight chemical erosion.
  • Uniform Compact Coating Layer: Continuous hot-dip process ensures even coating thickness, firm metallurgical bonding, no peeling, dropping or blistering during machining.
  • Excellent Machinability & Formability: Adapt bending, roll forming, punching, welding and cutting, suitable for one-time profiling into roof sheet, channel and customized profiles.
  • Diversified Surface Finish: Available big spangle, zero spangle, minimized spangle finish, meet decorative appearance and hidden engineering usage demands separately.
  • High Temperature Resistance(GL Exclusive): GL alloy coating withstand 310℃ long-term high temperature, not easy discoloration, fit high-heat workshop and exhaust equipment application.
  • Recyclable & Eco-friendly: Base carbon steel recyclable, non-toxic coating material, meet global environmental inspection for construction and industrial procurement.

Applications

  • Building Roof & Wall Cladding: Processed into corrugated roof sheet, wall panel and purlin for factory, warehouse and logistics park outer enclosure anti-rust structure.
  • Home Appliance Components: Zero-spangle GI/GL coil for refrigerator backboard, air conditioner frame, washing machine inner structural anti-rust parts.
  • Metal Hardware & Pipe Making: Raw material for galvanized steel pipe, metal bracket, fence post and stamped hardware accessories for outdoor municipal projects.
  • Coastal & Humid Area Engineering: High anti-salt GL coil for seaside plant, seaside guardrail, coastal residential building exterior anti-corrosion structure.
  • Prefab Container & Modular House: Base anti-rust material for movable container house wall, floor support plate, improving whole house service lifespan.
  • Automotive Underbody Parts: Anti-rust coated coil for vehicle chassis baffle, car body auxiliary structural parts, resist road water and mud corrosion.

Product Advantages (Customer Value)

  • Flexible Cost Matching: Cost-effective GI for inland low-budget projects; long-life GL cuts replacement frequency for coastal corrosive sites, optimize overall procurement cost.
  • Reduce Secondary Anti-rust Work: Factory finished hot-dip coating cancels on-site paint spraying, save labor, paint material and later periodic maintenance cost.
  • Lower Processing Rejection Rate: Stable coating adhesion and ductility avoid coating cracking during stamping, improve finished product yield for profile factories.
  • Global Standard Compatibility: Unified international coating standard, interchangeable size and grade, pass customs inspection easily for overseas engineering bidding.
  • One-stop Two-series Procurement: Supply both GI and GL coils in stock, support mixed container loading, simplify supplier management for steel distributors.

FAQ

  1. Q: Core difference between GI and GL steel coil?
    A: GI is pure zinc coated for low-cost inland anti-rust use; GL is Al-Zn silicon alloy coated, with 3-6 times longer service life, ideal for coastal salt fog environment.
  2. Q: What spangle types can you supply?
    A: Big spangle, minimized spangle and zero spangle are available, zero spangle fits painting and home appliance high-standard surface demand.
  3. Q: What coating weight is the most popular?
    A: Z120/Z180 GI and AZ70/AZ100 GL are hot-selling grades, balanced anti-corrosion performance and procurement cost for most projects.
  4. Q: Can you slit custom narrow width coils?
    A: Yes, we support slitting 20mm-1250mm arbitrary width, burr-free edge treatment for later pipe and profile processing.
