Electro Galvanized Steel

Specifications of electro galvanized steel

Characteristics of electro galvanized steel

1. High surface quality: Because the zinc coating is relatively thin, the base metal for electrogalvanized steel is selected for its smooth, flat surface and high-quality finish. Additionally, the electrogalvanizing process ensures a smooth, flat surface with a uniform silvery-white color and an attractive appearance.
2. Good Formability: Electroplating is a cold process; the steel is not subjected to high temperatures, so the base material’s inherent stamping properties and strength grades are fully preserved—particularly its excellent stamping performance.
3. Some Corrosion Resistance: Although the zinc coating on electrogalvanized steel is thin, it still offers some corrosion resistance. However, in terms of corrosion resistance lifespan alone, electrogalvanized steel does not match hot-dip galvanized steel.

Application of electro galvanized steel

Electro galvanized steel is widely used, and is commonly found in home appliances, steel furniture, office equipment, automobiles, construction, machinery manufacturing and other fields.

• Automotive Manufacturing: Body panels (doors, hoods, roof panels, fenders), interior panels, floor panels, instrument panel brackets, and seat frames.
• Home Appliances: The outer casings of refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, microwave ovens, and water heaters are often made of electrogalvanized steel sheets.
• Electronic Equipment: Computer cases, server racks, audio equipment enclosures, TV back panels, and frames for copiers and printers

FAQ electro galvanized steel

Which is better, electro galvanized or hot-dip galvanized steel?

Electro-galvanizing and hot-dip galvanizing each have their advantages and disadvantages.

• Electro-galvanized steel boasts a high-quality appearance with a smooth and flat surface, making it suitable for subsequent manufacturing of stamped products. However, its production process is costly, consuming large amounts of electricity and water, resulting in a higher cost than hot-dip galvanized steel coils.
• Hot-dip galvanized steel coils offer a wider range of zinc coating options, exhibiting significantly stronger corrosion resistance than electro-galvanized steel, and at a relatively lower cost.

Hot-dip galvanized steel coils have a wider range of applications(Z30 – Z275g/㎡), while electro-galvanized steel coils are primarily used in applications with high demands on appearance and processing.

Will electro-galvanized steel rust?

Electro-galvanized steel has certain anti-corrosion properties, but it will rust after a long time of use. However, even in a highly corrosive environment, the life of electro-galvanized steel produced by Wanzhi can reach more than 10 years. If you need steel with strong anti-corrosion properties and long life, hot-dip galvanized steel is recommended.
