Advantages of 0.35mm/0.40mm DX51D-Z90 Galvanized Steel Strip
Excellent Corrosion Protection: The Z90 coating provides ample zinc weight, ensuring long-lasting corrosion resistance in Djibouti’s hot and humid coastal climate, effectively extending product lifespan.
Superior Processing Performance: The DX51D substrate possesses excellent ductility and bending properties, making it ideal for cold working processes such as stamping and bending, meeting the forming requirements of complex hardware parts.
Surface Quality and Consistency: The smooth and uniform spangle surface is not only aesthetically pleasing but also facilitates subsequent surface treatments such as spraying and dip coating, enhancing product added value.
Flexible Specifications, Economical and Practical: Multiple narrow strip designs directly match downstream production lines, reducing secondary slitting losses and effectively controlling costs for customers.
