Galvalume Steel Coil

Aluminum-zinc coated steel coil (commonly called Al-Zn, Galvalume, or AZ-coated steel) is carbon steel continuously coated with an alloy layer (~55% aluminum, ~43.4% zinc, ~1.6% silicon). From a buyer’s perspective, Al‑Zn coils deliver superior corrosion resistance, heat reflectivity, and long service life versus conventional hot‑dip galvanized (Zn) coils for many building and industrial applications


    Product Overview

    Our Aluzinc Steel Coil (also known as Galvalume®) is a high-quality coated steel product designed to offer the best combination of corrosion protection, heat reflectivity, and formability. The coating consists of approximately 55% aluminum, 43.5% zinc, and 1.5% silicon, creating a unique structure that delivers exceptional performance in a wide range of environments.

     

    This product combines the long-term corrosion resistance of aluminum with the galvanic protection of zinc, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring durability, aesthetic appeal, and cost-effectiveness. Available in various thicknesses, widths, and surface finishes, our Aluzinc coils are manufactured to strict international standards (ASTM, JIS, EN) and are suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

    Typical Applications (buyer-oriented)

    • Roofing & cladding: superior corrosion resistance and heat reflectivity improve roof life and energy performance.

    • Prepainted coil (PPGL): widely used as substrate for durable paint systems (coil coating for gutters, facades).

    • HVAC components & ducting: where improved corrosion resistance and heat stability are desired.

    • Agricultural buildings & storage: longer life in corrosive atmospheres than Zn coating.

    • Light gauge steel framing & purlins: offers good protection while allowing roll-forming.

    • Appliance panels & architectural elements: preferred when appearance and longevity matter.


    FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions (for International Buyers)

    Q: What is the difference between Al‑Zn coated coil (Galvalume) and traditional hot‑dip galvanized coil?
    A: Al‑Zn coated coil uses an alloy coating (typically ~55% Al / 43.4% Zn / 1.6% Si) that offers better barrier protection, heat reflectivity, and long-term performance in many exposures compared to conventional Zn-only coatings. 

    Hot‑dip galvanized provides stronger sacrificial protection in some cut-edge or very aggressive environments, but Al‑Zn generally outperforms Zn for roof and cladding applications.

    Q: How is coating mass specified for Al‑Zn coil?
    A: Coating mass is usually given in g/m² (total or per side). 

    Typical ranges might be AZ30–AZ180 g/m² (total both sides or expressed per side—confirm which convention your supplier uses). 

    Higher coating mass increases corrosion life and price.

    Q: How does Al‑Zn perform in coastal or industrial environments?

    A: Al‑Zn generally performs well in moderately aggressive environments and often better than Zn-only coatings on horizontal surfaces. 

    For extreme coastal or highly corrosive industrial environments, higher coating mass or specialized coatings (e.g., heavy AZ coating, stainless, or protective paint systems) may be required. 

    Request salt spray or cyclic corrosion data for critical projects.

    Q: Are there any forming or welding concerns with Al‑Zn coils?
    A: Generally Al‑Zn is formable and weldable for typical fabrication methods (bending, roll-forming, spot welding). 

    For tight bends, deep drawing, or specialized welding, run qualification tests (bend, mandrel, weld trials) and specify allowable forming radius to ensure coating integrity.
