Electro Galvanized

The electro-galvanized sheet is carbon steel with a corrosion-resistant zinc coating electro-deposited on one or both sides. The continuous electrolytic coating technique provides a highly consistent thickness to the steel surface, which can help with forming and joining processes.

A uniform coating is applied to the steel surface during the continuous electrolytic coating process. As a result, electro-galvanized steel has a uniformly thin, smooth, and matte-looking zinc covering. Electro-galvanized steel’s benefits are higher corrosion resistance, better performance, an easily paintable surface, and formability.

When zinc is electroplated onto steel, electro-galvanized steel is obtained. The zinc offers corrosion resistance, like galvanized steel and galvannealed steel. Because it is typically constructed from cold-rolled steel, electro-galvanized steel is also sturdy. The zinc coating will be thinner than hot-dipped steel and may not survive as long in severe settings, but it will also be lighter than hot-dipped galvanized steel.
