Metallic coated steel product with outstanding corrosion properties
Jan 20, 2008
Salzgitter and Corus Strip Products in IJmuiden in the Netherlands have been working together on identifying opportunities for the application of coatings containing Zinc, Magnesium and Aluminium in selected market sectors.

Salzgitter and Corus now announce that they have formalised their efforts into a joint product development co-operation in the area of metallic coatings with outstanding corrosion performance. The corrosion performance of these steels is superior to conventional metallic coatings.

In this co-operation both companies share complementary R&D expertise to develop and optimise these products.

The new coating will be developed for a variety of applications, including applications in the building and construction sector, where the market traditionally uses zinc weights of 275 g/m2, and to applications with higher corrosion requirements in the Automotive and Domestic Appliances sectors. Timing and availability of products and applications will be included in progress updates that will be provided during 2008.
