STEEL SHEET
JFE Steel Corporation, who holds ISO 9001, QS-9000 and ISO 14001
certifications, has made an effort for development and production of
various kinds of hot dip galvanized products thanks to most modern
facilities and long time accumulated technologies.
JFE's wide range of hot dip galvanized products include pure zinc coated,
alloy coated, and unique high corrosion resistance chemically treated steel
sheets which respond to the increasingly advanced and diverse needs of
changing markets. As the results, JFE has got sincere reliance from the
domestic and overseas customers.
Hot dip
Coated layer consists mainly of zinc and contains
galvanizing approximately 5% aluminum and trace amounts of other
elements. A high corrosion resistance chromate-free
chemical conversion coating is also applied.
Alloy ECOGAL In addition to excellent corrosion resistance, the coated
layer has good adhesion and ductility, securing excellent
formability.
Beautiful external appearance enables use in applications
without painting.

JFE GALVAZINC characteristics
JFE GALVAZINC products have superior corrosion resistance thanks to a thicker coating layer than
thin coated sheets with high formability and weldability. Produced by the continuous galvanizing line,
products has good coating adhesion and formability, combined with excellent corrosion resistance and
lubricity imparted by various chemical treatments.
