Gi Coils

Hot dipped galvanized steel coil

galvanized steel coil

The galvanized coils is defined as a carbon steel sheet coated with zinc on both sides. A zinc coating is one of the most effective and economical methods of protecting bare steel from a corroding environment. The zinc not only serves as a barrier between the steel and the environment, but it will also sacrifice itself to protect the underlying steel sheet.

Design & Size

Spangle:Galvanization or galvanizing is the process of applying a protective zinc coating to steel or iron, to prevent rusting. The size of crystallites (grains) in galvanized coatings is a visible and aesthetic feature, known as “spangle”.

Zinc Coated:With the cold-rolled steel of different strengths and thickness as substrate. it is produced by applying the zine coat on both faces by hot-dip process.

Size

Width :≤1250mm
Thickness:  0.12mm~1.2mm
Zinc Coating: 40~275gram/㎡
Surface Treatment:Passivation/oiling
Spangle Types:Zero/ small/ regular/ big spangle

 

Gauge & Weight

Weight Varies By Profile

About PPGI Coils

Galvanized steel coil, immersing the thin steel plate in the molten zinc bath, and adhering a layer of zinc thin steel plate on the surface.

It is mainly produced by the continuous galvanizing process, that is, the coiled steel plate is continuously immersed in the zinc-melted plating tank to make galvanized steel plate; alloyed galvanized steel plate.

This kind of steel plate is also made by the hot-dip method, but it is heated to about 500 °C immediately after exiting the tank to form an alloy film of zinc and iron. This galvanized steel coil has good paint adhesion and weldability.

Use & MOQ

Widely used in construction, light industry and other industries.

Our MOQ is usually 1x20ft container.Free sample is ok but need pay the courier charge.Charge can be dedubt in future orders.

Hot-Dip Galvanizing Process

Our GI coils are produced using continuous hot-dip galvanizing (HDG) technology. The steel strip is passed through a molten zinc bath at approximately 450°C, forming a metallurgical bond between zinc and steel.

Manufacturing Process:

Cold Rolled Steel → Cleaning → Annealing → Zinc Bath → Air Knife Control → Cooling → Skin Pass → Surface Treatment → Coiling

Key Advantages:

  • Uniform zinc coating
  • Strong adhesion layer
  • Excellent corrosion resistance
  • Long service life (10–30 years depending on environment)
Zinc Coating Weight Classification

Zinc coating weight is one of the most important factors affecting corrosion resistance.

  • Z30 (≈90 g/m²): indoor applications
  • Z60 (≈180 g/m²): general construction
  • Z100 (≈275 g/m²): outdoor roofing & wall systems
  • Z180–Z275: coastal & industrial environments

Higher coating weight = longer protection life.

Mechanical Properties

Galvanized steel coils offer excellent balance of strength and formability:

  • Yield Strength: 140–550 MPa
  • Tensile Strength: 270–550 MPa
  • Elongation: 16%–30%
  • Hardness: HRB 50–95

Suitable for stamping, bending, roll forming, and structural fabrication.

Surface Types
  • Regular Spangle (RS): visible zinc crystals
  • Minimized Spangle (MS): smoother surface
  • Zero Spangle (ZS): uniform coating for painting
  • Skin Passed (SP): improved flatness
Key Advantages of Galvanized Steel Coil

1. Superior Corrosion Resistance

Zinc coating provides sacrificial protection, extending material lifespan significantly.

2. Cost Efficiency

Compared to stainless steel, GI coil offers lower cost while maintaining durability.

3. Excellent Workability

Suitable for bending, stamping, roll forming, and welding.

4. Wide Industrial Usage

Used in construction, automotive, appliances, and infrastructure.
