Hot-dip Zn-Al-Mg alloy coated steel, commonly known as ZAM steel, is an advanced coating product featuring a ternary alloy of zinc, aluminum, and magnesium. The magnesium content promotes the formation of a stable protective film, ensuring exceptional corrosion resistance. Compared to traditional coatings like GI and Aluzinc, ZAM alloy-coated steel offers superior corrosion resistance, formability, and wear resistance. It is ideal for diverse applications, including automotive, HVAC, solar photovoltaics, agriculture, and more.
