A coatings (legacy galvannealed-steel term)

A legacy term for zinc–iron alloy coatings on galvanized steel.

Updated 1 min read

The recovered glossary used “A coatings” for coatings converted to zinc–iron alloy by heat treatment, associated with galvannealed steel.

When buying or selling: use the applicable coating designation and product standard. The historical label alone does not establish coating mass, grade or paint preparation requirements.
