What is the Difference Between Galvanized Steel Sheet, Plate, and Panel?

Galvanized steel sheets, plates, and panels are three kinds of metal sheets processed by galvanizing process, with good corrosion resistance, plasticity, etc. They are widely used in construction, industry, decoration, transportation, agriculture, and other fields. They are widely used in construction, industry, decoration, transportation, agriculture, and other fields. Wanzhi Group produces galvanized steel coils material and provides slitting, cutting, stamping, and forming services. Professional solutions can be customized according to the needs of different projects.

Difference Between GI Sheet, Plate, and Panel

Galvanized steel sheets, galvanized steel plates, and galvanized steel panels are all made in the same way, using cold-rolled or hot-rolled steel as a substrate and covered with a zinc layer by electroplating or hot dip galvanizing to protect the steel from corrosion. However, there are significant differences in thickness, shape, and application.

What is Galvanized Steel Sheet Material?

GI steel sheets are galvanized metal sheets, usually packaged and shipped in rolls, characterized by a smooth surface that is easy to form and cut.

Shape: Rolls or thin sheets, smooth.
Uses: Due to the thinness of the galvanized steel sheet, it is generally strong and is often used for appliance housings, automotive parts, decorative, and some packaging materials.

What is Galvanized Steel Plate Material?

A galvanized steel plate, a galvanized metal plate, is characterized by its ability to withstand pressure and impact, providing stronger structural support.

Shape: A thicker flat plate cut to size on request.
Uses: Building structures, industrial equipment, piping systems, and other applications where support is required.

What is Galvanized Steel Panel Material

The Galvanized Steel Panel is a finished metal panel made of GI steel cut and shaped with different shapes on the surface.

Shapes: different sizes and shapes (corrugated, printed, ribbed, trapezoidal, non-slip, etc.).
Applications: Exterior walls and roofs of residential and commercial buildings, interior partitions and ceilings, traffic signs and columns, etc.

Common Features of GI Steel Sheet, Plate, and Panel

Galvanized.

The substrates are cold-rolled steel, hot-rolled steel, and strip steel.

Good corrosion resistance.

Similar applications in specific fields.

Buy GI Sheet, Plate, and Panel?

The main difference between a GI Sheet, Plate, and a GI steel panel is that the former is the raw material, while the latter is the finished product after deep processing. Of course, the thickness of the sheet and zinc coating will affect the price of the galvanized steel, so you can choose the right type of panel for your project.

Wanzhi Group manufactures and sells galvanized steel sheets and plates, and galvanized panels for roofing, walls, partitions, ceilings, flooring, etc. Leave your zinc layer, thickness, width, zinc effect, material, weight, or application, and Wanzhi Group will provide you with a free quote and a professional solution.

GI Sheet, Plate, and Panel Surface Finish

Plastic spraying: Powder coating of steel plates with a protective layer of zinc, which is cured by heating.

Phosphating: GI steel is immersed in a phosphate solution to form a phosphate film on the surface of the steel.

Passivation: Formation of a protective film on the surface of a galvanized steel sheet by chromate passivation.

Annealing: A heat treatment that improves the ductility and hardness of the steel.

Coating: Galvanized steel is roll-coated with PE/SMP/PVDF/HDP/PVC coating, which turns it into PPGI steel.
