Galvanised coiled plate is a surface coating of zinc applied to steel coils. Zinc plating is a cost-effective and highly effective method of corrosion prevention. Approximately half of the global zinc production is utilised in this process. Galvanised coil is produced using a continuous hot-dip galvanising process with hot-rolled or cold-rolled strip as the substrate. The galvanized sheets, which are supplied in rectangular cross-sections, are then cross-cut and rolled.
Galvanised coil is one of the most commonly used, effective and economical steel products on the market. It offers the ideal corrosion resistance, forming, painting and other comprehensive properties, as well as low cost, good appearance and other advantages, and is often used in the silo building industry.
The product offers excellent protection performance and a simple process.
The zinc coating has a more negative electrochemical potential than iron and steel, making it an excellent choice for electrochemical protection. The coating is thick and dense, offering excellent adhesion to the steel substrate. It is highly durable, with a zinc plating weight of 600g/m². Galvanised steel has a service life of over 30 years. Galvanised steel sheets require no repairs during the use phase. The hot plating process is straightforward and highly productive. Galvanised coatings offer a cost-effective solution with a price point that is much lower than that of paint coatings. They are a highly competitive option, particularly for long-term use.
The product offers an excellent overall performance and long service life.
The thickness of galvanized steel silos’ wall are calculated on the basis of ring pull. The maximum thickness of the silo can reach 4 mm, while the thinnest one is only 2.0mm. The thickness of the galvanized steel plate in different parts of the silo is different. Generally the thickness of bottom steel plate is 3mm, 3.5mm, 4mm, 4.5mm, 5.5, and 6mm. The steel plate in the upper part is thinner. The thickness of the uppermost coil is only about 2.5mm.
