Double-sided galvanized steel sheet

Single and Double-sided Galvanized Steel Sheets

Single-sided galvanized steel sheet is a product that is galvanized on one side only. In welding, painting, rust treatment, processing, etc. has a better adaptability than double-sided galvanized sheet. In order to overcome the shortcomings of single-sided uncoated zinc, there is a galvanized sheet coated with a thin layer of zinc on the other side, that is, double-sided fingerprint-resistant galvanized sheet.

Galvanizing Line

The industrial galvanizing line is primarily used to apply a zinc coating to the surface of steel wire or steel pipes to improve their corrosion resistance. This line can operate with various galvanizing methods, including hot-dip galvanizing and cold galvanizing.

About Hot-dip Galvanizing and Cold Galvanizing:

Hot-dip Galvanizing: This method is implemented by immersing steel components into a molten zinc bath to produce a thick zinc coating on the steel surface, securing excellent adhesion and corrosion resistance. Specifically, the process includes continuously immersing coiled steel sheets into a molten zinc bath, and then heating to approximately 50℃ to form an alloy layer of zinc and iron.

Cold Galvanizing (Electro-Galvanizing): With this method, a thin layer of zinc deposits on steel components through an electrochemical process. Though with lower costs, the coating’s adhesion and corrosion resistance achieved by this method is poorer than that achieved by hot-dip galvanizing.

The detailed parameters and equipment features of the industrial galvanizing line are as follows:

Process Parameters

Substrate materials: cold-rolled carbon structural steel, high-quality carbon structural steel, and low-alloy steel; strip steel width: 600–1,500 mm; strip steel thickness: 0.15–3.5 mm; steel coil outer diameter: φ800–2,000 mm; process speed: 80–200 m/min; energy sources: electricity, natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, gas, steam, compressed air, etc.; coatings: regular spangle, small spangle, no spangle, smooth spangle; coating thickness: 50–300 g/m² (both sides); post-coating treatment: smooth, tension leveling, finger-resistant coating/passivation, oil coating.

Equipment Structure

The main structures include an entry section with two uncoilers, entry shears, a welder, an entry looper, a cleaning section, a furnace section, a zinc bath, an air knife system, a cooling section, a planishing mill, a tension leveler, a passivation mechanism, an exit looper, a QC system, an oiler, exit shears, an exit section with two tension reels, a coil conveyance system, a coil bundling machine, and a weighing machine.

Equipment Characteristics

A chemical and electrolytic cleaning unit is installed preceding the hot-dip galvanizing (aluminum) process to remove surface impurities from the strip steel. A horizontal furnace with a simple structure is adopted, facilitating easy operation and maintenance. In the preheating stage, combustion exhaust gas from the direct flame heating section is employed for heating, thereby shortening the heating length and burning off residual oil on the strip steel surface. The radiant tube heating and the uniform heating section are equipped with W-shaped radiant tubes. The nozzles of each of these tubes are equipped with a heat exchanger to heat the combustion air.

Production Strength

Founded in April 2011, we specialize in the production, processing and sales of special high-strength sheets and hot-dip aluminum-zinc-silicon steel sheets in an area of about 180,000 square meters. Our main products include cold-rolled sheets, pickled sheets, aluminum-zinc-silicon-coated sheets, and galvanized sheets. We produce these products with one pickling line, two 1,150 mm unit cold rolling lines, and four galvanizing lines with an annual output of 350,000 tons. We operate with several functional departments such as the General Manager’s Office, the Sales Department, the Quality Control Department, the Finance Department, the Production Department, the Supply Department, the Marketing Department, and the Logistics Department. Among our 270-plus employees, 48 are skilled technical engineers and 56 hold a college degree and above.
