Galvanneal is a steel product with a zinc-iron alloy coating on the steel surface, produced by the continuous hot-dipping process. Achieving the required zinc coating thickness for different coating specifications is the result of passing the hot dipped strip through a variable low pressure, high volume air stream, called an "air knife." From here, the strip enters a furnace and the heat converts the zinc coating to the zinc-iron alloy coating. There is no spangle, simply a grey matte appearance.
If produced as Extra Smooth (skin passed or temper rolled), this material can be used for exposed automotive applications.
