Electro-galvanized steel is produced by applying a thin layer of zinc to steel through an electroplating process. Unlike hot-dip galvanizing, which produces a thicker zinc coating, electro-galvanized steel has a smoother and more uniform finish, making it ideal for applications that require precision and aesthetic appeal.
This type of steel is commonly used in the automotive and appliance industries, where components such as panels, fasteners, and body parts require a clean, smooth finish that also resists corrosion. The electro-galvanizing process allows for better control of coating thickness, which is especially important in parts that need to be painted or undergo further processing.
Electro-galvanized steel provides excellent corrosion resistance in mild to moderate environments and is a reliable choice for precision-engineered parts.
