The most prominent advantage of electrogalvanized steel strip made by voestalpine is its uniform surface quality. It also provides a high level of corrosion protection and excellent processing properties. This property profile makes the product ideally suited to exposed panels as well as interior components with the highest quality requirements.
The precisely controllable zinc coating and excellent surface quality make electrogalvanized steel strip the ideal solution for components with high requirements in the areas of corrosion protection and processability. The material is used in the automotive industry in roofs, doors, A and B pillars or sills), in the domestic industry in HVAC systems as well as in tube and section production.Electrogalvanized steel strip is also available as a one-side galvanized version for special applications.
Electrogalvanized steel strip made by voestalpine meets the highest surface requirements that are crucial for exposed body parts. The highly uniform application of the zinc layer creates a homogeneous surface that is ideally suited for downstream processes such as painting, joining and forming. The result: Components with excellent appearance and adhesion with a minimum of postprocessing—ideal exposed panel properties in every detail.
Electrogalvanized steel strip made by voestalpine stands for innovation with the highest strength available in modern DP, CP and FH grades, some of which feature high ductility and outstanding formability. Tensile strengths up to 1,180 MPa—ideal for demanding structural components Electrogalvanized MS1500, a martensitic steel with 1,500 MPa that sets new standards in lightweight design.
The special forming quality of the material withstands extreme deep-drawing stress. Additionally, the adhesive tendency of electrogalvanized steel strip is significantly lower than that of conventional hot-dip galvanized surfaces.
Typical applications
Thanks to its excellent spot welding and laser brazing properties, electrogalvanized steel strip is ideally suited for joining and leads to significantly lower electrode wear than conventional hot-dip galvanized surfaces.
Typical applications
Electrogalvanized steel strip can be supplied with a variety of functional surfaces that further optimize the material.
