CS Type A/B/C is a hot dip galvanized steel grade that meets the ASTM A653/A653M standard, where CS stands for Commercial Steel; Type A, B, and C, which implies upgraded mechanical properties and surface finishes, CS Type A for general applications and CS Type C for precision machining requirements. Wanzhi Group offers commercial grade CS, deep-drawn (DQ), formed (FS), and structural (SS) hot-dip galvanized steel in accordance with ASTM A653, both as raw material and finished product.
