Electrogalvanized Steel Coils

Electrogalvanized is the most common type of electrolytic coated sheet. Electrogalvanized is produced from a cold rolled substrate, upon which a very thin layer of zinc has been electrolytically deposited to one or both sides. Because the zinc coatings are much thinner compared to hot-dipped, the product is usually intended for interior applications having little atmospheric exposure. Most Electrogalvanized is very well suited for painting, especially given its smooth surface. And with its lighter coating weights, it offers better weldability than hot-dipped Galvanized. The finish is typically light grey and spangle-free. It's forming characteristics are very similar to those of Cold Rolled; weldability is very good. Because of its generally higher cost and lower rust-resistance compared to Galvannealed, Electrogalvanized has lost considerable market share (especially for automotive applications). It is normally produced to ASTM A879 standards and tolerances. Other rarer types of Electrolytic coated sheet include Electro Zinc-Nickel and Electro Zinc-Iron Alloy.
