Galvanized steel metal sheet is steel that has been galvanized and is covered with a layer of zinc. Here are the pros and cons of galvanized steel:
Benefit:
1. Excellent anti-corrosion performance: The zinc layer can effectively protect the steel from corrosion in the atmosphere, water and soil, extending the service life of the steel.
2. Strong oxidation resistance: The zinc layer forms a dense oxide film in the atmosphere, which can resist the erosion of oxygen and moisture and slow down the oxidation rate of steel.
3. Good wear resistance: The zinc layer has high hardness, which can improve the wear resistance of steel and reduce surface damage and scratches.
4. Beautiful and durable: The surface of galvanized steel metal sheet shows a bright metallic color and has a good decorative effect. At the same time, the galvanized layer is not easy to fall off and has high durability.
5. Easy to process and weld: Galvanized metal sheet has good processing and welding properties and is suitable for the manufacturing and processing of various steel structures.
Harm:
1. The galvanizing process consumes a lot of energy: The galvanizing process consumes a lot of energy and has a certain impact on the environment.
2. The galvanized layer may be damaged: During use, the galvanized layer may be affected by mechanical scratches, chemical corrosion and other factors, resulting in damage to the galvanized layer, thereby reducing the anti-corrosion performance.
3. May cause zinc poisoning: Under certain special circumstances, such as high temperature conditions, the zinc layer may release harmful substances, leading to the risk of zinc poisoning.
In general, galvanized steel has good anti-corrosion properties and aesthetics, and is suitable for various outdoor and high-durability engineering and construction projects. However, care also needs to be taken to protect the integrity of the galvanized layer to ensure its anti-corrosion properties.
