Hot-dip galvanized multiphase steel according DIN EN 10346

In addition, our product portfolio includes hot dip galvanized multiphase steel. These include both cold-rolled (first table) and hot-rolled products (second table). Both variants allow weight reduction in certain applications. The grades are sorted according to ascending tensile strength values.

Ferritic-bainitic steel “F”
Are steels that contain bainite or solidified bainite in a matrix of ferrite and / or solidified ferrite.

DP steel “X”
The dual-phase steel has a structure of ferritic matrix in which a predominantly martensitic second phase is embedded island-shaped.

Trip steel “T”
Transformation induced plasticity is abbreviated to TRIP and translates as “plasticity brought about by structural transformation”. In German-speaking countries, these are also called RA steel, which in turn stands for retained austenite. The steel structure has a predominantly ferritic matrix in which retained austenite is embedded.

CP steel “C”
Complex-phase-steel is abbreviated CP. The steel contains martensite and / or bainite in a basic structure of ferrite and / or solidified ferrite. For hot-dip coated strip and sheet, the following European uniform marks have been introduced.

  • Z zinc coating (99% Zn)
  • ZF zinc-iron alloy coating (Galvannealed)
  • ZA zinc-aluminum coating (Zn + 5% Al)
  • AZ aluminum-zinc coating (55% Al + 1.6% Si + Zn)
  • AS aluminum-silicon coating (11% Si + Al)
  • ZM zinc-magnesium coating (1-2% Mg + 1-2% Al + Zn)

Coating conditions
The tables below show the possible coating conditions.

Mass and design of zinc-iron alloy (+ ZF)
The coating of a zinc-iron alloy in a usual condition is formed by a heat treatment in which iron diffuses through the zinc. The surface has a uniform matt gray look.

Mass and design of zinc-aluminum alloy (+ ZA)
An unaffected solidification of the zinc-aluminum coating results in this version with a metallic luster. Depending on the manufacturing conditions, crystals of different gloss and of different sizes are formed. The quality of the coating is not affected.

Mass and design of zinc-magnesium-mlloy (+ ZM) 1/2
By an unaffected solidification of the zinc-magnesium coating, this version results in a different appearance, from dull to metallic sheen. Possible images and a tendency to darken may occur.

Mass and design of aluminum-zinc-alloy (+ AZ)
The products are delivered with standard crystals. Common crystals are a version with metallic luster, which results in unaffected growth of aluminum-zinc crystals under normal solidification conditions.

Mass and design of aluminum-silicon alloy (+ AS)
In contrast to the other hot-dip coated products, a relatively pronounced Al-Fe-Si alloy layer is formed on the base material during hot dipping. This must be taken into account in further processing steps.

Zinc coating finish – common zinc crystal (N)
This design results by an unaffected solidification of the zinc coating. Depending on the galvanizing conditions, either zinc crystals with different gloss and size or no zinc crystals may be present. The quality of the coating is not affected.

Zinc coating finish – small zinc crystal (M)
This design results by deliberately influencing the solidification process. The surface has a smaller zinc flower, which in some cases is not visible to the naked eye. If the usual zinc flower does not meet the requirements of the appearance of the surface, this design comes into consideration.

Details of the mechanical values can be found in the table above. In addition, you can download the complete excerpt of our Quality Guides (QG) on the hot-dip galvanized multiphase grades via the link. We can supply the steel grades described as coil, slitted coil, sheets and cutted pieces.
