A galvanized strip is a flat, narrow piece of steel or iron that has been coated with a layer of zinc through a process called galvanization. This zinc coating protects the metal from corrosion and rust, making it durable for outdoor and industrial use.
Key features and uses:
Material: Usually mild steel or iron.
Coating: Zinc layer applied via hot-dip galvanizing or electro-galvanizing.
Shape: Flat, long, and narrow (strip form), often available in coils or cut lengths.
Thickness: Can vary depending on the application, typically between 0.3mm to 3mm.
Applications:
Earthing and lightning protection systems (used to connect earth rods or conductors)
Construction (roofing, cladding, ducting)
Electrical and mechanical fabrication
Outdoor structures where rust prevention is critical
