Galvanized Hot Rolled Steel Plate | High Strength & Fast Delivery

Galvanized hot rolled steel plates combine the structural integrity of hot rolled steel with the corrosion resistance of a zinc coating, making them ideal for outdoor and harsh environment applications. Shandong Baotai Metal Materials Group Co., Ltd. produces galvanized hot rolled steel plates that offer long term durability and low maintenance, addressing the needs of industries where corrosion protection is critical.The galvanization process for hot rolled steel plates typically involves hot dip galvanizing, where the plate is submerged in a bath of molten zinc at approximately 450°C. This creates a metallurgical bond between the steel and zinc, forming a protective layer that prevents rust and corrosion. The zinc coating acts as a sacrificial anode, corroding preferentially to the steel substrate even if the surface is scratched, providing long lasting protection.Galvanized hot rolled steel plates retain the mechanical properties of their hot rolled counterparts, including high strength and formability, while adding corrosion resistance. The thickness of the zinc coating can vary depending on application requirements, with standard coatings ranging from 55 to 275 g/m², corresponding to protection lifetimes of 10 to 50+ years in different environments.Applications of galvanized hot rolled steel plates span industries exposed to moisture, humidity, or corrosive agents. In construction, they are used for outdoor structures such as roofing, wall cladding, and structural supports in coastal areas or industrial zones. Their corrosion resistance eliminates the need for frequent painting, reducing maintenance costs and extending service life.Transportation infrastructure benefits from galvanized hot rolled steel plates in bridges, highway guardrails, and tunnel linings. These components are constantly exposed to rain, snow, and de icing salts, and the galvanized coating provides essential protection against rust. The plates' high strength ensures they can withstand heavy loads while the zinc layer maintains their structural integrity over decades.Industrial equipment and machinery used in outdoor or wet environments, such as agricultural equipment, construction machinery, and oilfield equipment, often incorporate galvanized hot rolled steel plates. The coating resists corrosion from exposure to water, chemicals, and atmospheric pollutants, ensuring equipment reliability and reducing downtime due to maintenance.Marine applications, including shipbuilding and offshore platforms, rely on galvanized hot rolled steel plates to withstand the harsh saltwater environment. The zinc coating provides a barrier against salt spray and seawater immersion, while the high strength of the hot rolled steel supports the structural demands of marine structures. For more severe marine environments, additional coatings or thicker zinc layers can be applied.Manufacturing galvanized hot rolled steel plates involves a meticulous process to ensure coating adhesion and uniformity. First, the hot rolled plate is pre treated to remove surface contaminants, such as oil, grease, or mill scale, through degreasing and pickling. It is then rinsed and dried before being dipped into the molten zinc bath. After galvanizing, the plate may undergo post treatment, such as passivation, to further enhance corrosion resistance.Quality control for galvanized hot rolled steel plates includes rigorous testing of the zinc coating. Thickness measurements are taken using magnetic or eddy current gauges to ensure compliance with specifications. Adhesion tests, such as the bend test, verify that the zinc layer remains intact after deformation. Salt spray testing simulates harsh environmental conditions to evaluate the coating's durability over time.Shandong Baotai offers galvanized hot rolled steel plates in various specifications, with thicknesses from 2mm to 200mm, widths up to 4,000mm, and customizable lengths.
