Electrogalvanised

Zinc plating process whereby the molecules on the positively charged zinc anode attach to the negatively charged sheet steel. The thickness of the zinc coating is readily controlled. By increasing the electric charge or slowing the speed of the steel through the plating area, the coating will thicken. A feature common to the very wide range of applications of hot and cold rolled steel sheet is that the surfaces of the material need to be coated to protect the sheet against corrosion and sometimes also for aesthetical reasons.

Electrogalvanized Steel falls within the Flat Steel Product range offered by BSi Steel.

• Zinc plating process whereby the molecules on the positively charged zinc anode attach to the negatively charged sheet steel.

• A feature common to the very wide range of applications of hot and cold rolled steel sheet is that the surfaces of the material need to be coated to protect the sheet against corrosion and sometimes also for aesthetical reasons.
• The long-term performance of a paint coating is primarily dependent on the quality of the preparation or pre-treatment of the sheet. As this process should be carried out under carefully controlled conditions, it is not surprising that one of the fastest growing areas of technology in the steel industry is the application of surface coatings to the cold rolled steel sheet on continuous coating lines.
• Strain ageing:
  BSi Steel ensures that the Electrogalvanized Steel that is purchased and distributed is stabilized and therefore is guaranteed to be strain resistant for a period of six months. No deterioration in mechanical properties or ducility, due to strain ageing, will take place during this period.
• Temper Rolling:
  The material for Electrogalvanized Steel is supplied in the temper rolled (skin passed) condition.
• Dimensional tolerances:
  BSi Steel ensures that the Electrogalvanized Sheet is produced to the same tolerances as Cold Rolled Sheet.
• Coil inside diameter:
  The standard inside diameter is 610mm.
• The following product specifications are offered by BSi Steel within our Electrogalvanized Steel range:
