NLMK has improved the corrosion properties of galvanized steel
Novolipetsk Iron and Steel Works began shipping a new product for the construction and electrical industries - galvanized steel with a more corrosion-resistant and environmentally friendly coating.
A thin organic coating is applied to the metal after galvanizing and provides a 3-fold increase corrosion resistance of metal compared to traditional technology. This effect is achieved through the use of anticorrosive pigments based on chemical compounds that are safer than chromium-based coatings. Additional advantages of the new coating are greater resistance to stamping and forming, better weldability and paintability of the metal.
The volume of production of the new product will be about 100 thousand tons per year.
