What is DX55D steel?
The hot-dip galvanized steel DX55D in accordance with the EN 10346 standard is a specialized material that was developed for particularly demanding cold forming processes. With the material number 1.0962 (formerly 1.0309), this steel belongs to the category of mild steels and is classified as a special deep-drawing grade. DX55D is characterized by its exclusive availability with the +AS (aluminium-silicon) coating type, which offers special protection against high temperatures and corrosive influences. Due to its unique properties, this material is ideal for applications where extreme formability is required in combination with robust, temperature-resistant surface protection.

DX55D +AS (Aluminum-Silicon Alloy) Coating
The DX55D Hot Dip Galvanized Steel Coil is exclusively available with +AS (Aluminum-Silicon Alloy) coating, a premium finish designed to address high-temperature and corrosive environments. Unlike conventional zinc coatings, the +AS coating (composed of 90% aluminum and 10% silicon) forms a stable, impermeable alumina layer when exposed to oxygen, delivering superior corrosion resistance and oxidation protection.

Key Benefits of DX55D +AS Coating:
High-Temperature Resistance: Withstands temperatures up to 800°C without scaling or delamination, making it ideal for thermally stressed components like exhaust systems.
Superior Corrosion Protection: Outperforms standard zinc coatings in salt spray tests and harsh environments (hydrocarbon, outdoor), with self-renewing passivation protection if scratched.
Excellent Reflectivity: Reflects 80% of radiation from heat sources (200-600°C), suitable for thermal insulation applications such as heat shields and industrial ovens.
Formability Compatibility: The hard ternary alloy layer (4-7 microns) at the steel-coating interface ensures compatibility with complex deep-drawing processes, supported by optional prelube oils or thin organic films for enhanced processability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the difference between DX55D +AS and standard DX55D galvanized steel coil?
DX55D is exclusively available with +AS (Aluminum-Silicon Alloy) coating – there is no "standard DX55D" without +AS. The +AS coating provides superior high-temperature resistance (up to 800°C) and corrosion protection compared to traditional zinc coatings, making it suitable for thermally stressed applications where standard galvanized steel fails.
2. Can DX55D +AS hot dip galvanized steel coil be used for deep drawing?
Yes. DX55D is classified as a special deep-drawing grade with low yield and tensile strength, ensuring excellent material flow during complex forming processes. The +AS coating's ternary alloy layer is optimized for deep drawing, and optional prelube oils or thin organic films can further enhance processability.
3. What is the maximum temperature DX55D +AS can withstand?
DX55D +AS hot dip galvanized steel coil can withstand temperatures up to 800°C without scaling or delamination, making it ideal for high-temperature applications such as automotive exhaust systems and industrial heating equipment. At 400°C, it retains 80% of its reflectivity for thermal insulation purposes.
