Abstract

This paper describes the key properties of 55%Al-Zn coated sheet steel that led to the remarkable worldwide growth of this highly corrosion resistant product. The presentation at the seminar will be made with an MS PowerPoint presentation showing pictures and word slides depicting the product’s nature, applications, development, corrosion protection mechanism, commercial benefits, and other features that contributed to this product’s noteworthy growth. We will answer the question of why 55%Al-Zn sheet steel has a useful life that is 4 to 6 times longer than plain galvanized sheet steel with equal coating and steel thickness exposed to the same atmospheric environment.
