MAX. WIDTH & THICKNESS

- 1,250 mm - 0.15 mm – 3.00 mm

GRADES

As per JIS G3141 and equivalent standards.

SURFACE FINISHING

- Bright - Matt

PICKLING

Hot rolled coils are descaled with hydrochloric acid.

COLD ROLLING

Pickled coils are reduced to the desired thickness by cold rolling.

REWINDING

To reduce tension, coils are rewound before annealing.

ANNEALING

Coils are heated and then cooled in a controlled atmosphere to achieve the required properties of the steel grade being produced.

SKIN PASSING

Skin passing enhances the mechanical properties, surface flatness and texture of the steel. If required, electrostatic oil is applied to the coils at this stage, in order to prevent oxidation.

TENSION LEVELLING

Tension leveller removes unwanted curvature formed on steel coil as a result of continuous rolling and ensures flatness through elongation of steel. Electrostatic oil is applied to the coils at this stage to prevent oxidation.

Transport and Handling Precautions

LIFTING DEVICES

Always use proper lifting devices like C-hook or parallel hooks, magnetic lifters, nylon slings etc. to lift, load and unload coils and sheet packets.

HANDLING WITH SLINGS

Nylon slings are preferred. Use rubber pads on coils where the sling comes in contact with them.

FORKLIFT

Do not push cut-sheets or roll the coils with a forklift, since this could cause scratching.

RUBBER SHEETS

When transporting coils in trucks, use rubber sheets beneath the coils or an exclusive transport stand.

SECURE LASHING

While transporting in containers, coils must be lashed adequately and securely to avoid damages to the products.

SLINGS & ROPES

Secure coils and sheet packets with slings/chains/ropes while transporting in trucks. Use rubber pads between these fasteners and steel products.

SKIDS

While stacking the coils on floor, ensure that they are placed on proper skids to avoid formation of dents.

SECURE STACKING

While transporting, ensure that the stacked sheets are firmly secured down, to avoid them slipping off due to vibrations and movements.

MOVING & SHIFTING

While using lifter, always carry sheets in a packed condition to prevent them from slipping or getting scratched.

HOT DIPPED GALVANIZED STEEL

Galvanization is the process of applying a protective zinc coating to steel, to prevent rust and corrosion. ISL’s Hot Dip Galvanized steel is coated with molten zinc and processed on an automated production line. This product is offered in bright finish with regular or minimum spangle for general fabrication. Brochure

HOT DIPPED GALVANIZED STEEL

ISL’s Hot Dip Galvanized Steel is produced on a state-of-the-art, fully automated production line. The best available raw materials and processes are applied under controlled conditions to produce material of the highest quality.

With a production capacity of 450,000 MT, ISL’s Galvanizing facility produces products of high quality and endurance, thanks to a dynamic production team and rigorous quality control systems.

Thickness

0.15mm - 2.50mm

Grades

As per JIS G3302 and equivalent standards

Maximum Width

1250mm

ELECTROSTATIC OIL CLEANING

In order to achieve better coating adhesion, the steel’s surface is rinsed and air-dried to get rid of residual electrostatic oil.

CONTINUOUS ANNEALING

Cold rolled coils are annealed in a continuous NOX furnace.

GALVANIZING

The annealed steel is then immersed in a molten zinc pot under an inert atmosphere, which forms a protective layer around the steel.

SKIN PASSING

Skin Passing is done to reduce strain marks and impart a uniform surface texture on the coated product (If specified by the customer).

TENSION LEVELER

Tension leveler reduces any shape defects and ensures flatness through elongation of steel.

APPLICATION OF CHROMATE

A thin coat of chromate - a rust inhibitor, is applied to the hot dip galvanized product as it leaves the tension leveler. This chromate solution is squeegeed onto both surfaces and then air-dried. Continuous NOX furnace.

PACKING

Packing is customizable according to customer requirements.
