Galvanized steel sheet is a metal material that prevents rust by plating zinc onto its surface. It is widely used in construction, home appliances, automobiles, and other industries.

There are two main processes: hot-dip galvanizing and cold-dip galvanizing.
Hot-dip galvanizing: The steel sheet is immersed in molten zinc. The zinc layer is thicker (typically 40-900 g/m²), offering strong corrosion resistance and making it suitable for outdoor or humid environments.
Cold-dip galvanizing: A zinc layer is formed through electroplating. The surface is smoother but thinner, and the cost is lower.

Hot-dip galvanized (HDG) steel plate is carbon steel coated with a zinc layer through immersion in molten zinc (typically 450°C/842°F). Key features:
Superior corrosion resistance (zinc sacrificially protects steel)
Durable coating (typical lifespan: 20-70 years)
Excellent adhesion (metallurgically bonded)
Cost-effective protection vs stainless steel
Standards: ASTM A123 (US), EN ISO 1461 (EU), JIS H 8641 (Japan)
