The applications of steel sheets in daily life are constantly expanding. Coated steel products such as JFE's galvanized steel sheets have enjoyed particularly strong growth in fields where corrosion resistance and cost reduction by process omission are important. Our coated steel sheets offer superior economy in construction and automotive applications, electric appliances, and electronic equipment. 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. Understanding the excellent characteristics of JFE products aiming future progress, sincere patronage from the customers are welcomed.

Product
Characteristics
Zinc coated by hot dip galvanizing. Light coated products have good weldability and formability. Usable from general processing to deep Pure Zinc JFE GALVAZINC drawing according to application. Heavy coated products have superior corrosion resistance. Wide application are possible by selecting spangle or a post treatment.
Zn-Fe alloy coated by hot dip galvanizing and annealing. JFE GALVAZINC ALLOY Zn-Fe coating has superior paint adhesion and corrosion resistance. Weldability is superior to JFE GALVAZINC products.
Coated layer consists of mainly zinc and 5% aluminum with small amount of mish metal ( rare earth elements). Alloy JFE GALFAN Adhesion and ductility of coated layer is good, and it shows excellent formability. Used for painted sheets due to good paintability.
Alloyed coating containing zinc and about 55 % aluminum. GALVALUME STEEL SHEET Products have heat resistance and heat reflection property of aluminum in addition to corrosion resistance of zinc and aluminum. Surface is attractive white silver. Smooth, attractive surface produced by electro-plating. Formability of coating is excellent, with same mechanical Pure zinc JFE EXCELZINC properties as base metal. Weldability is also good due to light coating. Paintability, anti-ngerprint property and lubricity can be added by post-treatment.
Electrogalvanizing
Surface coated by zinc-nickel alloy. Alloy JFE EXCELZINC NICKEL 3 to 5 times better corrosion resistance than that of pure zinc coating. Superior formability and weldability.
steel
Full line from general processing to for deep drawing Same as JFE GALVAZINC. Full line from for general products. processing to deep drawing products. Weldability changes depending on zinc coating weight. However, thin coating weight of less than 60/60 have same weldability as cold rolled sheets under proper welding conditions. Weldability is superior to that of normal zinc coated steel sheets due to Zn-Fe alloy coating. Same weldability as cold rolled sheets under proper welding conditions.
Weldability
Paintability
By including iron in the coated layer and proper porosity By selecting proper spangles, flat painted surface is structure and uneven surface, superior paint adhesion obtained. can be obtained. With heavier coating weight than that of electrogalvanized Corrosion protecting capacity of surface is same as coating, has superior corrosion resistance. Corrosion JFE GALVAZINC, but superior paint adhesion provides resistance of zinc itself and sacriced corrosion function higher corrosion resistance after painting. delays generation of red rust.

Handling precautions
In using hot dip galvanized steel sheets, the following precautions should betaken in order to ensure optimum use:.
[Storage] When receiving product, check for moisture in the package. Dry immediately if wet. Use adequate care to prevent moisture in spaces between sheets, coiled strips, and work pieces. Storage areas should be as dry as possible. Storage in damp conditions and/or with broken packaging can result in discoloration or rusting. Repair broken packaging if long-term storage is required. Abrasion marks (black dents) may occur due to pressure if transportation or storage conditions are improper. [Handling] Steel sheet products have sharp edges. Handle carefully using gloves to avoid injury. Scratches and oil stain due to improper handling can result in paint defects. Lubricated strips and sheets have a low friction coefcient and slide easily. Coils may collapse (telescope, etc.) due to repeated uncoiling and recoiling. Cut sheets in piles may slide due to impact. Use carefully in handling and work around storage areas. [Processing] Some types of lubricating oil erode zinc. Prior testing before using shall be recommended. [Welding] For high temperature brazing, nickel-brass brazing material is recommended. [Degreasing] Insufficient degreasing can cause paint defects. Degreasing by spraying or dipping in a neutral or low alkaline agent is recommended. Strong alkaline agents can damage the strip surface.
Adequate rinsing after degreasing is recommended. If degreasing is inadequate, water repulsion can be observed on the strip after dipping in clean water. Use a degreasing method which maintains a smooth and uniform water lm. [Painting] Dirt or other foreign matter on the surface will cause paint defects. Degrease adequately before painting. JFE coated steel products are chemically treated to improve paint adhesion. However, certain paints may have poor adhesion with certain zinc coatings. Prior testing is recommended. Undercoating with a wash primer will help ensure good results. [Black discoloration] Galvanized products (GZ : nonalloytype) may display a unique black discoloration phenomenon which is caused by a very thin oxidized lm near the zinc surface. This results in changes in light absorption and reflection, causing the material to appear black, but does not affect the basic quality. Black discoloration tends to increase over time. The time until noticeable discoloration occurs depends on operating conditions and the storage environment after production. As an oxidation phenomenon, discoloration is generally accelerated by high temperature, high humidity conditions. Black discoloration is unavoidable, but can be delayed by oil coating. Quick use of products I recommended, as discoloration will increase if the product is stored for an extended period.
