Minimum 40 g/m² total both sides. Thinnest coating option offering basic heat and corrosion protection. Preferred for forming-intensive applications where coating flexibility is critical.

The most widely specified coating weight. 80 g/m² total both sides (~20μm per side). Optimal balance of corrosion protection, heat resistance, and formability. Industry default for automotive exhaust and HVAC components.

120 g/m² total (~30μm per side). Enhanced corrosion protection for demanding outdoor or moderately corrosive environments. Suitable for building roofing, cladding, and heat exchanger shells.

Maximum corrosion and heat protection. 150–200 g/m² coating weight (~40–50μm per side). Specified for the most demanding high-temperature industrial environments, mufflers, and catalytic converter substrates.

Commercial-quality cold-rolled steel base. Good surface quality, standard formability. The most economical substrate option. Suitable for general fabrication, non-structural cladding, and HVAC ducting.

Deep-drawing quality substrate with improved ductility and r-value. Specifically designed for complex forming, deep-drawn exhaust components, and automotive stamped parts requiring significant material deformation.

High-strength low-alloy steel substrate providing superior strength-to-weight ratio. Enables thinner gauge use while maintaining structural performance. Common in lightweight automotive structures and load-bearing panels.

Ferritic stainless steel substrate (11% Cr, titanium-stabilized) combined with Al-Si coating for maximum high-temperature performance. Premium specification for catalytic converters, mufflers, and 700°C+ exhaust systems.

Interstitial-free (IF) steel offers the highest formability with excellent surface quality. Used where extreme deep drawing, stretch forming, or post-forming paint/coating adhesion is required.

Mufflers, catalytic converter housings, exhaust pipes, heat shields, and manifold components. Service temperatures typically 400–700°C with thermal cycling. Requires excellent formability and weldability.

Shell-and-tube heat exchangers, air pre-heaters, furnace linings, dryer drums, and industrial heating equipment. Requires consistent performance under sustained high-temperature exposure and thermal cycling.

Metal roofing, wall cladding, chimney flues, HVAC ducting, and flashing. Al-Si coating provides superior weather resistance and heat reflection. Excellent alternative to galvanized in high-temperature environments like flue gas exhaust.

Oven liners, baking trays, range tops, dishwasher components, and dryer drums. Requires food-safe coating that withstands oven temperatures (200–450°C), cleaning agents, and humid environments.

Solar thermal collector tubes and plates, heat pump components, power plant flue linings, and biomass boiler parts. High solar reflectivity (Al-Si ≥ 85%) and sustained heat resistance are key requirements.

Incinerator linings, cement kiln components, petrochemical insulation jacketing, agricultural dryers, and general heat-shielding applications. Flexible specification to meet a wide range of industrial requirements.

Designed for deep-drawing, roll-forming, and precision stamping applications. Requires highest substrate quality (IF or DC04) and tightest coating thickness control. Used in oven liners, appliance parts, and thin heat shields.

The most common thickness range for automotive exhaust, HVAC, and general fabrication. Good balance of formability and structural rigidity. Stocked as coil in DC01, DC03, and AS80 as standard.

For structural panels, heat exchanger shells, thicker exhaust components, and load-bearing applications. Reduced formability compared to thinner gauges. Roll-forming and press brake bending are the primary fabrication methods.

Heavy-gauge aluminized silicon for industrial furnace components, thick heat shields, flue gas ductwork, and industrial incinerator panels. Limited formability — primarily for simple bends, welded assemblies, and flat panel applications.
