ASTM A528 Galvanized Steel Product Information -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: ### **ASTM A528 Galvanized Steel: Drawing Quality Zinc-Coated Sheet** #### **1. Overview** ASTM A528 is a standard specification for **drawing quality** steel sheet, zinc-coated (galvanized) by the hot-dip process. This specification covers steel sheet in coil and cut lengths specifically designed for **deep drawing applications** and other severe forming operations. Unlike commercial quality galvanized steel, ASTM A528 is characterized by its **superior formability**, uniform mechanical properties, and controlled chemical composition to ensure consistent performance in demanding fabrication processes. #### **2. Chemical Composition** The base steel for ASTM A528 has tightly controlled chemistry to ensure optimal formability and drawing performance: **Typical Base Metal Chemistry (Drawing Quality):** | Element | Composition (%) | |---------|-----------------| | Carbon (C) | ≤ 0.10 | | Manganese (Mn) | ≤ 0.50 | | Phosphorus (P) | ≤ 0.025 | | Sulfur (S) | ≤ 0.030 | | Silicon (Si) | ≤ 0.030 | | Copper (Cu) | ≥ 0.20 (when specified) | **Key Characteristics:** - **Low Carbon Content:** Ensures softness and formability - **Restricted Phosphorus and Sulfur:** Improves drawing characteristics - **Controlled Manganese:** Maintains ductility - **Optional Copper:** Provides enhanced atmospheric corrosion resistance #### **3. Physical & Mechanical Properties** **Coating Properties:** - **Coating Designations:** G30, G40, G60, G90, G115, G165 (oz/ft²) - **Coating Types:** Regular spangle, minimum spangle, extra-smooth - **Coating Adhesion:** Must withstand severe drawing without flaking **Mechanical Properties:** | Property | Requirement | |----------|-------------| | **Tensile Strength** | 35-50 ksi (240-345 MPa) | | **Yield Strength** | 25-40 ksi (170-275 MPa) | | **Elongation in 2 inches** | 25% minimum | | **Rockwell Hardness (HRB)** | 45-65 | | **Bend Test** | Bend 180° flat on itself | **Physical Characteristics:** - **Base Steel Thickness:** 0.023-0.168 inches (0.58-4.27 mm) - **Coating Weight Range:** 0.30-1.65 oz/ft² total both sides - **Surface Quality:** Superior surface finish required for drawing applications #### **4. Product Applications** ASTM A528 drawing quality galvanized steel is specifically designed for applications requiring **severe forming and deep drawing**: **Automotive Components:** - Fuel tanks and oil pans - Air filter housings - Bracket and reinforcement parts - Exhaust system components **Appliance Manufacturing:** - Washing machine tubs and covers - Dishwasher inner doors and panels - Refrigerator liners and components - HVAC system housings **Industrial Products:** - Electrical junction boxes - Lighting fixtures and housings - Office furniture components - Agricultural equipment parts **Consumer Goods:** - Pails and containers - Tool boxes and storage units - Ventilation ducts and fittings #### **5. International Standards & Equivalents** | Region/Country | Standard | Equivalent Grade | Notes | |----------------|----------|------------------|-------| | **International** | **ISO 3575** | CR3 | Drawing quality hot-dip coated | | **Europe** | **EN 10346** | DX52D+Z, DX53D+Z | Deep drawing quality | | **Japan** | **JIS G3302** | SGCD1, SGCD2 | Drawing quality galvanized | | **China** | **GB/T 2518** | DX52D+Z, DX53D+Z | Deep drawing quality equivalent | | **Germany** | **DIN EN 10346** | DX52D+Z | Special killed steel for drawing | **Coating Weight Comparison:** | ASTM A528 | ISO 3575 | EN 10346 | Typical Use | |-----------|----------|----------|------------| | G60 | Z180 | Z180 | Moderate drawing | | G90 | Z275 | Z275 | General drawing | | G115 | Z350 | Z350 | Severe drawing | #### **6. Fabrication Characteristics** **Forming Capabilities:** - Excellent for deep drawing and severe forming operations - Suitable for stretching and bending - Minimal springback characteristics - Consistent mechanical properties throughout the sheet **Welding and Joining:** - Good weldability with all standard processes - Requires proper ventilation for zinc fume control - Spot welding and seam welding commonly used - Adhesive bonding compatibility **Surface Considerations:** - Superior surface quality essential for drawing operations - Chemical treatment available for enhanced paint adhesion - Chromate conversion coatings optional - Suitable for all types of finishing operations --- **Key Advantages:** - **Superior Formability:** Specifically designed for deep drawing applications - **Consistent Properties:** Tightly controlled chemistry and processing - **Excellent Surface Quality:** Essential for visible parts and painted surfaces - **Reliable Performance:** Predictable behavior in production environments **Quality Assurance:** - Regular testing for mechanical properties - Coating weight verification - Surface quality inspection - Formability testing per application requirements **Disclaimer:** This information is for reference purposes only.
