Is Galvanized Steel Expensive?

Galvanized steel, especially hot-dipped galvanized steel, is the least expensive of all coated steels with the same coating thickness. The cost of coatings or paints for metallic coated steels, aluminum, chromium, aluminum-magnesium, etc., and non-metallic coated steels, such as PPGI, PPGL, etc., is higher than that of galvanized steel. However, the function and service life of the coating varies from material to material.

What is the Cost of Galvanized Steel?

The cost of galvanized steel consists of three main components: raw materials, production and transportation. Galvanized steel is produced from the cold-rolled or hot-rolled sheet by hot dip galvanizing or electro galvanizing. The substrate’s material, the zinc layer’s thickness, and the galvanizing process all affect the cost and price. Wanzhi offers DX51D, DX52D, DX53D, DX54D, SGCC, etc., with a 30-350g coating thickness. You can leave a message with your project requirements, and we will calculate the cost for you.

Raw material cost: steel and zinc, fluctuate a lot, but the factory supplier will have the raw material in stock, to reduce the raw material cost.
Production costs: Including machinery, energy consumption, labor costs, so the more quantities we process the lower the overall cost, which is why factory suppliers process at a lower cost.
Transportation costs: Regional differences are obvious, sea and road transportation costs are determined by the region, when transportation costs are too high, you can choose to buy from a local company.
