Zinc Magnesium Steel
Protection against corrosion with Zinc Magnesium (ZM) steel.
Are you looking for a type of steel that offers protection against corrosion? ZM steel is frequently used in aggressive environments, such as floating solar panels at sea or steel used in the agricultural sector. More and more metal processors are switching to steel treated with a Zinc-Aluminum-Magnesium coating.
7 Benefits of Zinc Magnesium Steel
- Self-healing protection on cut edges
- Superior corrosion resistance in chloride and ammonia environments
- Longer lifespan
- Less dirt accumulation during processing compared to regular zinc
- An alternative to hot-dip galvanizing, aluminum, or stainless steel
- Reduced zinc consumption compared to pure zinc coatings
- Significantly lower zinc runoff rate
"By using Zinc-Magnesium steel, more sustainable products are created that require less maintenance. Moreover, they are 100% infinitely recyclable. KS Service Center and our customers appreciate the environmentally friendly aspects of ZM steel."
