Ribbed sheet metal MAGNELIS®

steelzinctextured

Magnelis® coating comprises zinc with 3.5% aluminium and 3% magnesium). This corrosion-resistant metallic coating ensures optimal surface protection against long-term wear and tear and offers superior cut-edge protection. Magnelis® performs up to ten times better than galvanised steel. This product is ideal for use in construction and civil engineering applications, where good corrosion resistance in very aggressive environments (e.g. chloride or highly alkaline) is required. Magnelis® is a flat carbon steel product coated on both sides with a zinc-aluminium-magnesium alloy. This alloy, composed of 93.5% zinc, 3.5% aluminium and 3% magnesium, is applied by means of a continuous hot dip galvanising process. This optimum chemical composition has been selected to provide the best results in terms of corrosion resistance. Magnelis® is available in a very wide range of steel grades: steels for cold forming and deep drawing applications, structural steels and High Strength Low Alloy steels. Storage Magnelis® is supplied passivated and/or oiled to temporarily limit any risk of white rust formation. During transport and storage, all necessary precautions must be taken to keep the material dry and to prevent the formation of condensation. Improved protection can be achieved by the application of an Easyfilm® thin organic coating (please see data sheet E80 for the specific properties of Easyfilm®). Forming The forming techniques currently used for galvanised steel are also suitable for Magnelis®. Magnelis® behaves very well during profiling operations.
