Why does galvanized strip steel get moldy?

Galvanized strip steel is steel sheet that has been uniformly coated with a layer of zinc. Hot-dip galvanizing produces a coating that is both uniform and highly adhesive, with an exceptionally long service life. During the hot-dip galvanizing process, the zinc layer undergoes chemical and physical reactions with the steel substrate, forming a tightly structured zinc-iron alloy layer that integrates seamlessly with the steel strip, thus providing outstanding corrosion resistance. However, even under these conditions, we sometimes still observe mold growth on galvanized strip steel during use. This occurs because moisture can condense on the surface of hot-dip galvanized strip steel, and since zinc readily oxidizes in air, rust may form on its surface. When selecting hot-dip galvanized strip steel products, it’s important to pay attention to the thickness of the coating and the smoothness of the surface. Additionally, ensure that no corrosive substances come into contact with the surface of the hot-dip galvanized strip steel. Also, avoid placing hot-dip galvanized strip steel products indoors if the room temperature is excessively high or if the products have not yet fully dried.

Uses of galvanized strip steel

Galvanized strip steel is a new type of material. Its principle lies in the fact that the surface of the steel sheet is coated with a layer of zinc, which leverages zinc’s physical properties to provide corrosion protection. As a new material, galvanized strip steel is most widely used in the construction and light industries, accounting for roughly two-fifths of its total applications. There is also significant market demand in other industries. Moreover, as a type of steel that has undergone corrosion-resistant treatment, galvanized strip steel is extensively employed in everyday life. However, due to its diverse applications and various processing methods, we may not always notice it—such as ventilation ducts in buildings or the surfaces of certain electrical appliances. After being aesthetically enhanced, these materials are often used in areas that remain hidden from view, like the back panels of refrigerators, for example.

Uses of galvanized strip steel

Galvanized strip steel products boast excellent characteristics such as strong corrosion resistance, superior surface quality, suitability for advanced processing, and cost-effectiveness. As a result, they are widely used in various fields including architectural decoration, rolling shutter doors, colored doors and windows, residential chimneys, agriculture and sideline industries, aquaculture, household appliances, cable belts, and more. Typically, they are employed to manufacture steel pipes—for example, greenhouse pipes, water supply pipes, heating pipes, and gas transmission pipes—and can also be applied in industries such as construction, light industry, automotive, agriculture, animal husbandry, fishery, and commerce. In the construction sector, they are primarily used to produce corrosion-resistant roofing panels and roof grids for industrial and civil buildings. In the light industry, they are utilized to fabricate appliance casings, residential chimneys, kitchenware, and other items. In the automotive industry, they are mainly employed to manufacture corrosion-resistant components for passenger cars. In agriculture, animal husbandry, and fishery, they serve as equipment for grain storage and transportation, as well as for the frozen processing of meat and aquatic products. In commercial applications, they are commonly used as storage and packaging tools for goods, as well as for structural steel purlins (C- and Z-shaped steel), lightweight studs, and ceiling joists.

The difference between electro-galvanizing and hot-dip galvanizing

Steel is highly susceptible to corrosion when exposed to air, water, or soil. The annual losses caused by corrosion account for roughly one-tenth of total steel production. To impart specific functional properties to metal surfaces and give them an aesthetically pleasing appearance, electro-galvanizing is commonly employed. Since zinc does not readily change in either dry or humid air, a highly dense film of zinc oxide can form on its surface, effectively protecting the underlying metal from corrosion. Moreover, if the coating is damaged for any reason, exposing the base metal, the zinc and steel substrate will form micro-pores, turning the base metal into a cathode and providing it with additional protection. This process is widely used in industries such as automotive and transportation; however, to reduce the harmful and toxic effects of hexavalent chromium passivation, trivalent chromium conversion coatings and zinc-nickel alloy plating are often applied. Electroplated zinc coatings are thick, have fine and uniform crystal structures, are free of pores, and exhibit excellent corrosion resistance. The zinc layer obtained through electroplating is relatively pure, corroding slowly even in acidic or alkaline fumes, thus providing effective protection for the metal substrate. After chromate passivation, the galvanized layer develops colors ranging from white and colorful hues to military green. These coatings are both elegant and visually appealing, offering significant decorative value. Due to the excellent ductility of the zinc layer, it can be shaped through cold stamping, rolling, bending, and other processes without damaging the coating itself. Electroplated zinc is increasingly being adopted in a growing number of fields. Fastener products are now extensively used in sectors of great importance to the national economy, including mechanical engineering, electronics, precision instruments, chemical industry, transportation, aerospace, and others. Among the various hot-dip galvanizing methods used for surface protection of substrates, hot-dip galvanizing stands out as an exceptionally effective technique. In hot-dip galvanizing, the zinc used is in liquid form; after undergoing complex physical and chemical reactions, this method not only deposits a thicker zinc coating onto steel fasteners but also forms a zinc-iron alloy layer. This galvanizing method not only retains the corrosion-resistant characteristics of electroplated zinc but, thanks to its zinc-iron alloy layer, offers superior corrosion resistance that cannot be matched by electroplating alone. Consequently, this galvanizing method is particularly well-suited for use in environments characterized by severe corrosion, such as those exposed to strong acids and strong alkalis. This type of metal is widely utilized in the construction of power transmission towers. In principle, the hot-dip zinc coating is formed in three distinct steps: First, the iron-based surface is dissolved by the molten zinc, creating a zinc-iron intermetallic layer. Next, zinc ions from the alloy layer further diffuse into the substrate, forming a zinc-iron solid-solution layer. Finally, the surface of the alloy layer is covered by a protective zinc layer.

Can galvanized strip steel be stored outdoors?

Galvanized strip steel is a process in which a layer of zinc is applied to the surface of strip steel through high-temperature and chemical treatments. Compared to ordinary steel, galvanized strip steel boasts numerous advantages, such as superior corrosion resistance, longer service life, and enhanced rust resistance. As demand continues to grow, so does the demand for galvanized strip steel. Given these many benefits of galvanized strip steel, factories should pay close attention to effective storage methods during manufacturing. After all, even durable materials can be damaged—galvanized strip steel is no exception. Although it has a bright and attractive appearance, it cannot withstand prolonged exposure to sunlight. Metal materials require a dry storage environment; however, it’s crucial not to expose them to direct sunlight for extended periods. Prolonged exposure to the sun can cause the zinc coating on the surface of galvanized strip steel to flake off, thereby shortening its lifespan. If left outdoors for long periods, galvanized strip steel will not only suffer from intense sunlight but may also be exposed to heavy rain and lightning strikes. Such prolonged exposure to wind and rain can severely corrode the steel, making it highly detrimental to its condition. Tianjin Haigang Steel Coil Co., Ltd.—we have professional bundling personnel and scientifically designed packaging methods, doing everything possible to extend the storage life of strip steel.
