Galvanized steel coils are mainly classified into two mainstream types based on their processing methods: hot-dip galvanized steel coils and cold-dip galvanized (electro-galvanized) steel coils. There are also special galvanized coils: aluminized zinc steel coils, zinc-aluminum-magnesium anti-corrosion steel coils, and galvanized patterned steel coils, etc., with a complete range of specifications and thicknesses. China factories can meet various processing needs.
The coating grades of hot-dip galvanized (continuous hot-dip galvanizing) and cold-dip galvanized (continuous electro-galvanizing) steel coils comply with the national standards GB/T 2518-2019 and GB/T 15675-2020, respectively, and are mainly classified according to four dimensions: coating type, coating weight, surface quality, and application performance.
