The Strength of Zinc

Galvanised Iron Sheets

At MKK Metals, we specialise in the production of galvanised iron (GI) sheets - steel sheets fortified with a zinc coating. As a leading steel manufacturer, our selection encompasses a broad range of both hot-dipped galvanised and electro-galvanised steel sheets designed to offer superior protection for the base steel by reacting with the environment.

Our Galvanised Iron (GI) Sheets stand out for their robust resistance to rust, courtesy of their iron coating. This zinc layer safeguards the innate strength of the GI sheets, ensuring their longevity and durability. They find varied applications in the agricultural sector, serving as a reliable material for sprayers, pans, grain silos, and more.

To guarantee the optimum performance of our GI sheets, we implement rigorous quality control measures. The parameters of the chromating process are closely monitored, and our sheets undergo regular salt-spray tests. This meticulous approach ensures that our GI sheets not only meet but exceed industry standards, delivering unrivalled quality to our clients.

The Art of Galvanising: Our Process Explained

At MKK Metals, our Galvanised Iron (GI) sheets are the result of a meticulous and stringent galvanising process. This multi-step operation ensures an optimal protective coating on our steel sheets, resulting in superior durability and resistance. Here's a look at the process we follow:
Cleaning
The steel sheet is first thoroughly cleansed in a degreasing solution, preparing it for the subsequent stages.
Pickling
Post-cleaning, the steel sheet is immersed into a vat of diluted hot sulfuric acid in a process known as pickling.
Fluxing
The pickled steel sheet is then fluxed in an aqueous solution, typically consisting of zinc-ammonium chloride.
Galvanising
The fluxed steel sheet is then immersed into a vat of molten zinc. This galvanising process forms a metallurgical bond between the steel and zinc.
Inspection
After galvanising, the steel sheet undergoes a thorough inspection to ensure consistency and a complete coating.

GI Sheets- Insights & Inquiries

Hot-dipped galvanised GI sheets are subjected to immersion in molten zinc, resulting in a substantially thicker and more robust coating, making it apt for outdoor utilisation. On the other hand, electro-galvanised GI sheets acquire their zinc coating via an electroplating process, producing a thinner coat often used in indoor or decorative settings.

Indeed, GI sheets find extensive use in roofing applications due to their remarkable strength and rust-resistant qualities. Offering reliable protection against weather elements, these sheets are an excellent choice for both residential and commercial roofing initiatives.

Absolutely. GI sheets are highly adaptable to cutting and fabrication processes. They can be readily cut, shaped, and formed to cater to specific project needs. This flexibility positions them as an apt choice for a range of applications across the construction, automotive, and manufacturing sectors.

GI sheets are low-maintenance materials. To maintain their aesthetic appeal and performance, regular cleaning and inspections for dirt or debris removal are recommended. Any areas of damage should be promptly repaired to inhibit corrosion and secure the sheet's longevity.
Yes, GI sheets are purposely designed to endure a broad spectrum of weather conditions. The zinc coating serves as a protective barrier, preventing corrosive elements from reaching the iron sheet's surface, thereby ensuring its lasting durability.
