Introduction to Galvanized Steel Sheet
WHEELING-NIPPON STEEL's galvanized steel coating is one of the most effective and economical methods of protecting bare steel from a corrosive environment. The zinc coating serves as a barrier between the steel and the environment, as it will sacrifice itself to protect the underlying steel sheet from corrosion-causing factors. Thus, the spread of corrosion from cut edges, drill holes, etc. is minimized.
WHEELING-NIPPON STEEL minimized spangle is known in the steel industry for its excellent paintable, flat, uniform spangle-free surface. WHEELING-NIPPON STEEL's two state-of-the-art multi-pot coating lines provide the capability to produce a wide range of sizes, coating weights, and steel grades.
Also available is Galvanized Plus product with an acrylic coating applied to the sheet. This added coating offers additional corrosion resistance, eliminates the need for oil during rollforming, eliminates finger printing during handling, and many other advantages.
All steel coatings and treatments can be produced to RoHS compliance when required for your particular application.

Galvanized Steel Sheet Metal Applications
Our hot-dipped galvanized steel sheet metal product has an unlimited number of uses and applications, such as automobile parts, including interior and exterior parts, appliance parts, highly formable parts, parts needing good dent resistance, heating and ventilating ducting, window framing, roofing, cornices, vending machines, microwaves, audio-visual and gaming systems, exposed parts of metal furniture, cabinets, cabinet and furniture hardware, skinning frames, trusses, decking, gutters, metal construction studs, industrial applications such as tool boxes, shelving, and lighting fixtures, and general building and utility uses. It's a great all-around steel product, giving reliable corrosion resistance for a wide variety of uses. While it may not be comparable in paintability, when comparing galvanized vs. galvannealed steel, or have the same long-term corrosion resistance as ZAM®, galvanized steel sheets are a crucial product for industries where corrosion resistance matters, but stainless steel would be too costly.
