Coated Steel Sheets of Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation
Steel sheets are applied throughout a broad spectrum of
life and industryincluding automobiles, home electric
appliances, building materials, housing, beverage cans,
and transformers. Economic growth in the emerging
countries and other parts of the world has spurred an
expansion in steel sheet use.
By its speedy response to a wide range of needs and
its rich line-up of products, Nippon Steel & Sumitomo
Metal Corporation is renowned for its coated steel sheets.
Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal develops and markets
high-performance steel materials capable of responding to
increasingly stringent needs, such as growing concern for
the environment and energy conservation.
Coated steel sheets, in particular, are required to
possess not only rust resistance but press formability,
weldability, paintability, and various other properties as
well. In addition to metallurgy, a growing diversity of other
technologies is indispensable for meeting these needs.
They include electro-chemistry, thin-lm engineering, paint
engineering, interface engineering, corrosion science,
thermal technology, and alloying control (dif fusion)
technology. In the case of coated steel sheets, if any of
these technologies is lacking, customer needs cannot be
fullled.
Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal has outstanding
command of these various elemental technologies and
continues to develop products that precisely meet the Hot-dip galvanizing line Electrogalvanizing line
performance requirements of its customers.

Thermal Resistance
GALVALUME STEEL SHEET has high aluminum content, 55% of
mass and 80% of capacity, and shows better thermal resistance than
ordinary hot-dip galvanized steel sheets. Even when exposed to high
air temperatures, it shows neither significant increase of mass due to
oxidization nor any surface discoloration due to progressive alloying.
When used for many hours under temperatures around 350C, it
undergoes little change.
The figure below shows the change in mass when steel sheets are
continuously heated in the atmosphere. It is evident that GALVALUME
STEEL SHEET undergoes less change due to oxidization than hot-dip
galvanized steel sheet.

Heat Reectivity
The surfaces of GALVALUME STEEL SHEET exhibit excellent heat
reflectivity, showing no substantial deterioration after long-term
exposure to high temperatures. Materials with high heat reflectivity
show a minimal rise in temperature. The use of materials with high
heat reflectivity particularly in roofing subjected to large thermal loads
is highly effective in preventing increases in indoor temperature.
