Material | Low-carbon steel (e.g., SPCC, DC01/03) with carbon content ≤0.25%, no coating, and smooth surface | Low-carbon steel substrate (same as cold-rolled steel plates) + zinc coating (hot-dip or electro-galvanized), where the zinc layer provides rust resistance | Low-carbon steel substrate + zinc-aluminum alloy coating (55% aluminum, 43.4% zinc, 1.6% silicon) with stronger coating adhesion |
Uses | Stamped parts (e.g., auto parts, home appliance casings), structural supports, mechanical components, decorative parts, etc. | Automobile bodies, building envelopes (e.g., light steel keels), home appliances (refrigerators, washing machines), ventilation ducts, outdoor brackets, etc. | High-weather-resistance building roofs/walls, chemical equipment enclosures, containers, coastal area components, solar brackets, etc. |
Application Scenarios | Indoor dry environments (e.g., workshop equipment, furniture frames), avoiding moisture (prone to rusting) | Humid environments (e.g., kitchen equipment, bathroom hardware), moderately corrosive environments (e.g., urban building exteriors) | Highly corrosive environments (coastal areas, industrial zones, chemical zones), long-term outdoor exposure scenarios (e.g., highway guardrails, grain silos) |
Style | Flat plates, coiled plates; surfaces can be pickled or phosphated (no coating) | Flat plates, coiled plates; surfaces can have zinc flowers (hot-dip galvanizing) or no zinc flowers (electro-galvanizing); some can be pre-treated for color coating | Flat plates, coiled plates; silver-gray surface with uniform coating, usable directly or for color coating |
Production Process Flow | Hot-rolled steel plates → cold rolling (thickness reduction) → annealing (stress relief) → temper rolling (precision adjustment) → shearing/coiling | Cold-rolled steel plates → degreasing and cleaning → hot-dip galvanizing (or electro-galvanizing) → cooling → passivation (anti-white rust) → shearing/coiling | Cold-rolled steel plates → degreasing and cleaning → hot-dip zinc-aluminum alloy (molten coating) → cooling → passivation → shearing/coiling |
