08kp/ps (GOST 14918-80, GOST 19904-90) is a flat steel sheet coated with a layer of zinc to protect against corrosion. Galvanizing is the process of applying a zinc coating to steel, which is performed using two main methods:

• Hot dip galvanizing, when a steel sheet is immersed in molten zinc, creating a thick and durable protective coating.;
• Electroplating is when a coating is applied using an electrolytic process, which allows for a thinner and more uniform coating.

Main characteristics of galvanized steel sheet

The thickness of the zinc coating varies depending on the galvanizing method and customer requirements (usually from 5 to 275 g/m2). The thickness of the sheet usually varies from 0.3 mm to 3 mm.
The width and length of the sheet can be in various sizes, standard widths from 600 mm to 1500 mm, the length can be different depending on the needs.

Advantages of galvanized steel sheet

Corrosion resistance - the rubber coating protects the steel from moisture and aggressive environments. Durability - ensures a long service life of the products. Durability - preserves the mechanical properties of steel, adding additional protection. Cost-effectiveness is a relatively inexpensive way to protect steel compared to other anticorrosive methods. Aesthetic appearance - smooth and shiny surface improves the appearance of the products.

Application of galvanized steel sheet

Roofing materials - galvanized sheets are used to make roofing coverings, gutters, and gutters. Facades and paneling are used to cover walls, create building frames, fences and fences. Corrugated board is a popular material for fences, roofs and wall panels.

Bodywork elements are used for the manufacture of car and truck body parts. Chassis and frames are used to protect the elements of the frames and chassis from corrosion. Manufacture of household appliances:
housings are used for the manufacture of housings of washing machines, refrigerators, microwave ovens and other household appliances. They are used as elements for the production of internal and external parts of household appliances.

Storage facilities and hangars - galvanized sheets are used for the construction of storage facilities for agricultural products and machinery. Barriers are used to create fences and fences. They are used for the manufacture of electrical switchboard housings and cabinets. They are used for the manufacture of containers and wagons for the transportation of goods.

Features of installation and processing

It is easy to process, as galvanized steel sheets are easy to cut, drill and mold, which allows them to be used in various designs. It can be connected by welding, rivets and bolts. Galvanized sheets can be additionally painted to improve aesthetic properties and additional protection.

Galvanized steel sheet is a versatile and reliable material that, due to its protective properties and wide range of applications, is in demand in various industries and construction.
