Galvanized steel is so named because its top layer is coated with zinc to prevent corrosion. Such material has increased wear resistance, it is not afraid of bad weather conditions, as well as mechanical stress.
Galvanized steel is cheaper than stainless iron, and in all respects it is not inferior to it. This material is quite lightweight, so it's easy to work with it. Its service life is enormous, it reaches thirty years! There are many types of galvanized steel, but the most popular now is sheet metal. It is used in construction and related areas. It is from it that the metal tile is made, which is now used everywhere. This steel is produced by two methods: cold rolled and hot rolled. The top galvanized layer allows the material to withstand even aggressive external environments. Often, galvanized steel is produced already painted. In this case, it can have a variety of colors.
In the manufacture of this material, steel is dipped in molten zinc, which results in galvanized sheet protection. The adhesion of zinc and steel is due to a special chemical reaction resulting in a new product. There are several layers of zinc here, and in the very center is steel. This material is flexible, it can be stamped, pulled and rolled. It is because of this that the scope of its application is simply enormous, and it is not limited only to construction. You can even see it in washing machines and hotplates.
