Mechanical properties of hot dip Zinc coated steel S250GD

Jan 05, 2026

Galvanized steel sheet

 

S250GD+Z is a structural-grade galvanized steel sheet engineered for durability, corrosion resistance, and formability. This steel grade complies with rigorous standards for performance in demanding environments. The "S250" designation refers to a minimum yield strength of 250 MPa, while "GD+Z" indicates a hot-dip galvanized coating that provides robust protection against atmospheric corrosion. Combined with carefully selected surface characteristics like spangle size and coating weight, S250GD+Z galvanized steel is widely used across multiple industries requiring both strength and long-lasting finish performance.

 

S250GD is available in the following hot dip coatings: S250GD+Z (galvanized), S250GD+ZF (galvanized-iron), S250GD+ZA (galvanized-aluminum), S250GD+AZ (aluminum-zinc), S250GD+AS (galvanized-iron) aluminum silicon).

 

In addition to carbon, S250GD also contains small amounts of manganese (Mn), silicon (Si), sulfur (S), phosphorus (P), oxygen (O), nitrogen (N) and hydrogen (H), which are produced by It is brought into the ore and smelting process, so it is called impurity element.

Advantages of S250GD

 

  • higher corrosion resistance
  • Excellent formability
  • Low crack susceptibility of the coating
  • Yield point of 250 N/mm² for high strength, high corrosion resistance construction parts.
  • Beautiful surface, corrosion resistance, good welding performance, certain stamping performance, durable

 

Common Surface Treatment Options & Zinc Spangle Selection

 

Surface treatments and zinc spangle selection are crucial for performance and visual requirements. The most common options include:

1. Regular Spangle (RS):
• Standard aesthetic pattern visible after galvanizing.
• Good option where typical industrial appearance is acceptable.

2. Minimized Spangle (MS):
• Reduced "flower" pattern for cleaner, more uniform appearance.
• Preferred in architectural and consumer product applications.

3. Anti-Fingerprint (AFP) or Passivation:
• Provides enhanced resistance to surface marks during handling.
• Ideal for interior panels, exposed steel components, and premium finishes.

The choice of finish often depends on the end application and environmental exposure.
