GALVALUME COATED STEEL
Galvalume is
an aluminum-zinc coated steel that provides extra corrosion protection. The cost
of Galvalume is about the same as that of galvanized steel.
Galvalume
offers the best qualities of aluminum-coated (aluminized) and zinc-coated
(galvanized) steels. It has barrier corrosion resistance and heat resistance
similar to aluminized and good bare edge galvanic protection and forming
qualities like galvanized. So, Galvalume will resist rust, the elements and fire
while providing a sturdy and protective covering.
Currently,
uses for Galvalume include car mufflers, standing seam roofing, tubing for
fences, greenhouses, steel buildings and much more.Galvalume offers excellent
cost-effectiveness, which we pass on to our customers.
CORROSION
RESISTANCE
Galvalume, by
virtue of its combined protection of aluminum and zinc, has at least twice the
service life, in most atmospheric environments, of conventional galvanized steel
with the same coating thickness.
In a series of
exposure tests performed over a 13-year period by Bethlehem Steel, Galvalume
steel was found to outlast galvanized by:
- Four times in exposure tests in a
severe marine environment.
- Twice as long in a less severe
marine location.
- Six times longer in industrial
environments.
- Three times longer in rural
situations.
HIGH TEMPERATURE PERFORMANCE
Galvalume steel resists intermediate and high
temperatures far more effectively than galvanized steel.
Specifically, Galvalume steel shows no
discoloration up to 315°C (600°F) during continuous or intermittent exposure
over a prolonged period. Above this temperature, some discoloration does occur
and roughening of the surface is possible. Neither this discoloration nor
roughening, however, reduces Galvalume's resistance to rust. Galvalume maintains
its rust-resistance up to 675°C (1,250°F).
Additionally, Galvalume has excellent heat
reflectivity, up to operating temperatures of about 315°C (600°F). This heat
reflectivity makes a building cooler inside on hot, sunny days.
