Aluminized

Aluminized steel is hot-dip coated on both sides with an aluminum-silicon alloy. This process ensures a strong metallurgical bond between the steel sheet and its aluminum coating, resulting in a material with a unique combination of properties not found in either steel or aluminum alone. Aluminized steel has a dazzling appearance and offers heat resistance at an affordable price.

Aluminized steel is advantageous for high-temperature, corrosion-resistant uses that do not need a high strength-to-weight ratio. Slitting, blanking, shearing, degreasing & brushing, stretcher leveling, and metallurgical support are the capabilities for aluminized steel sheets. The following products are made with aluminized steel:

• Ventilation, Heating, and Air conditioning systems for residential and commercial purposes
• Appliances for the home
• Engine Components

• HVAC
• Heat Exchanges
• Mufflers
• Water Heaters and Culvert

Press Hardened Aluminized Steel

Press hardening combines forming and heat treatment techniques to build high-strength complicated structures. A special manufacturing procedure of press hardened aluminized steel is heated to a minimum temperature of 850°C. Then it is shaped into its final form in water-cooled dies that regulate the cooling and quenching rates to ensure that the desired characteristics are met.
