Galvalume Steel
Galvalume Steel
Galvalume steel is a high-performance material made by coating a base steel sheet with an alloy layer containing 55% aluminum, 43.4% zinc, and 1.6% silicon. This unique composition combines the durable corrosion resistance and heat reflectivity of aluminum with the sacrificial protection of zinc. Widely used in roofing, wall cladding, machinery, appliances, and agricultural structures, especially in harsh environments.
At Zhaojian Steel, we are a leading manufacturer of Galvalume steel, offering a full range of specifications at competitive prices.

Galvalume Steel Products Manufacturing Process
- Cleaning: Surface contaminants and oils are removed using alkaline solutions. Hot-Dip Coating: The steel strip passes through a molten Al-Zn-Si bath to form a uniform alloy coating. Cooling & Solidification: Rapid cooling solidifies the coating into a protective layer. Post-Treatment (Optional): Anti-fingerprint coating, light oiling, passivation, or paint application. Slitting & Packaging: Final products are cut into sheets or coils and packaged per customer requirements.

FAQ
Yes, Galvalume steel can be factory-coated with organic paints to produce Pre-painted Galvalume Steel (PPGL), which provides improved durability, UV resistance, and color options.
While Galvalume performs well for most outdoor applications, it is not recommended for direct marine exposure (e.g., within 1 km of the coastline) because the aluminum-zinc coating can degrade in high-chloride environments.
Common standards include ASTM A792, ASTM A755, JIS G3321, and EN 10346, depending on region and application.
