SSAB offers the following metal coating options:
• Zinc (Z) – a zinc coating offers a good level of corrosion resistance for normal applications.
• Galfan® (ZA) – a zinc-aluminum alloy coating provides better corrosion resistance and formability compared to a zinc coating. Galfan® is well suited for demanding deep drawing.
• Galvannealed (ZF) – the iron in the Galvannealed zinc-iron alloy coating enables good weldability. Paint adhesion on the matt surface is excellent, providing a first class surface for the end product. A zinc-iron alloy coating has a consistent gray appearance with no crystal pattern effect.
Metal coated steels are produced in a thickness range of 0.40 – 3.0 mm and widths up to 1,550 mm. Products are delivered as coil, cut-to-length sheets and slit coils.
The products are often customized to meet national and/or international standards, such as EN 10346 and VDA 239-100, as well as customer-specific or other Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) standards. Besides standardized steel grades, SSAB’s metal coated product portfolio also includes products unique to SSAB which are targeted at different segments and applications.
