0.09–3.8mm Hot Dipped Galvanized Steel Coil 40–450g/m² for HVAC Ductwork and Ventilation System Fabrication

1. Product Overview

Hot dipped galvanized steel coils are produced by immersing cold rolled steel into molten zinc to form a protective coating layer. This zinc layer improves resistance to corrosion in environments where moisture, airflow, and temperature variation are present, such as HVAC and ventilation systems.

In duct manufacturing and air system fabrication, coating uniformity, forming performance, and dimensional stability are key factors. Coil supply supports efficient downstream production through slitting and cut-to-length processing.

2. Technical Solution

The product performance is based on:

• Hot dip galvanizing process with continuous coating control
• Zinc layer acting as barrier protection
• Sacrificial protection of zinc against corrosion
• Controlled mechanical properties for forming and fabrication

Yield strength 195–420 MPa ensures structural stability, while elongation 12–25% supports bending, rolling, and locking operations in HVAC fabrication.
