Galvanized Steel According to DIN EN 10346
Galvanized steel according to DIN EN 10346 is an essential material in many industrial and construction applications. This type of steel is produced through a continuous hot-dip galvanizing process, where a zinc layer is applied to the steel strip. This coating provides excellent corrosion resistance and significantly increases the longevity of the steel products.
A significant application of galvanized steel is in the production of soft steels suitable for cold forming. These steels are characterized by their excellent formability and ductility, making them ideal for the production of complex components and body parts in the automotive industry. Soft steels can be easily bent, stamped, and deep-drawn without the risk of cracking or breaking. The galvanized coating provides additional protection against corrosion, which extends the lifespan of the components and reduces maintenance costs.
