he first is degreasing and descaling, removing grease and oxidized skin on the surface of the steel coil by acid washing or mechanical removal to ensure the adhesion of the plating layer. Then surface cleaning is carried out, using alkaline solution to remove residual impurities and dirt.

Preparation of zinc coating: Aluminum-zinc alloy coating is formed by electrochemical reaction in solution.

Preparation of zinc coating: Aluminum-zinc alloy coating is formed by electrochemical reaction in solution.

First a solution containing appropriate amount of Al-Zn alloy needs to be prepared and poured into the galvanizing bath. The formulation and concentration of the solution will be adjusted according to different requirements.

Galvanizing process: The pre-treated steel coil is fed through a roller conveyor into the galvanizing bath,

where the coil moves in a circular motion. Under the action of electric current, the aluminum-zinc alloy will form a uniform coating on the surface of the steel coil.

Coating: The galvanized steel coils need to be coated to improve the weather resistance and aesthetics of the surface.

Coating: The galvanized steel coils need to be coated to improve the weather resistance and aesthetics of the surface.

Common coating treatments include hot rolled coatings, powder coatings etc. These coatings can increase the corrosion resistance of steel coils and also provide a variety of colors to choose from.

Rolling and Cutting: After the coating treatment, the steel coils need to be rolled and cut to get the required size and shape.

Rolling and Cutting: After the coating treatment, the steel coils need to be rolled and cut to get the required size and shape.

The coils can be cold rolled or hot rolled to change their shape and thickness.
