The “black” tinplates have a limited scope of application. In order to give the metal product an increased performance, the sheets are coated with a protective coating, resulting in a more expensive, but durable, galvanised metal.
Benefits of the material
A galvanised rolled metal product has a number of positive characteristics:
- high corrosion resistance: excellent resistance to adverse environmental conditions, humidity and temperature changes;
- increased lifecycle: a galvanised tin can serve from 30 to 100 years when operated properly;
- low thermal conductivity, suitable for insulation as it preserves the heat well;
- attractive external appearance – galvanized steel sheets have virtually no visual flaws and have a perfectly flat surface.
The hot galvanizing technology involves immersing metal sheets in special containers filled with zinc melted at a temperature of 460 °C. In addition, the thickness of the zinc layer will depend on the rate of immersion of the workpiece in the protective mixture. Galvanised angles and other types of rolled products are cooled in a diffuse manner until the coating reaches a certain smoothness and durability.
