At Heidtman Steel, our Electrogalvanized Steel shines in automotive, appliance, and electronics applications, providing a smooth, uniform finish without compromising base metal properties. Engineered for excellence, it’s the steel that powers innovation with reliability and precision.

About This Product

Electrogalvanized steel is produced using an electrolytic process. The steel is submerged in the electrolytic solution. When the solution is electrically charged, the zinc atoms are deposited on the steel sheet (cathode). The electro-galvanizing process does not impact the base metal mechanical properties. It also allows for light and tightly controlled coating thicknesses.

  • Features a precisely applied zinc coating for excellent corrosion resistance and surface uniformity.
  • Ideal for applications requiring smooth, paint-ready surfaces, such as automotive panels and electronics.
  • Available in a range of tightly controlled coating weights to meet specific project needs.
  • Preserves the mechanical properties of the base steel, ensuring strength and formability.
