POSCO Electro Galvanized Steel

  cornerstone of production and quality
Upon completion of its first-phase manufacturing facility in 1973, Pohang Steelworks,
Korea’s first integrated steel mill, was finally completed after 4 stages of construction at
Young-il Bay in February 1981.
POSCO is capable of producing and processing a variety of carbon steels and stainless
steels. The company’s global competitiveness was further enhanced when we opened
04 the world’s first FINEX commercialization facility in May 2007. 05

Main products _ Hot-rolled steel, Plate, Cold-rolled steel, Wire rod, Electrical steel,
Stainless steel, API steel, etc.
Crude steel production _ 16,852 million tons (as of 2021)

Gwangyang Steelworks

Gwangyang Steelworks is the world’s largest integrated steel mill which features
an optimal layout for processing carbon steel.
Products from Gwangyang works include automotive steel, high-strength hot rolled
steel, high-quality API steel, and thick plates among other products.
With the goal of specializing in the manufacturing of the world’s best automotive KOREA
steels, Gwangyang Steelworks focuses on enhancing its competitive edge. Seoul JAPAN

In order to deliver quality products, meeting customer’s requirements, POSCO is equipped iwth the latest fully-automated computer controlled
cutting edge facilities and technologies. These tools guarantee products of the highest precision and quality for our customers.

Phosphate Thin-Film Coating Process

A phosphate thin-film is applied to the surface of the zinc layer through chemical or
electro-chemical reactions. The film is intended to provide temporary anti-corrosion
protection and to generate a secure painting substrate.

Anti-Fingerprinting Process
An organic, inorganic or organic-inorganic hybrid film is applied to the surface of sheet
steel in order to supplement its corrosion resistance and to enhance desirable properties
such as resistance to fingerprint marks and workability

Input Process
Equipment at the entry point of the electrogalvanizing line consists of a Pay-off Reel, Shearing M/C, Weld-
ing M/C, Looper, and Tension Leveler. The pay-off reel transports stacked or cold-rolled steel materials to
the shearing machine which cuts and connects them in preparation for welding. Then comes the welding
machine, the looper and a tension leveler which controls the flatness of the untreated sheet steel.

Pre-Treatment Process
An electrolytic cleaning line consists of an electrolysis tank, an acid
bath and a rinse tank to remove contaminants and oxide films from the
surface of the steel before electroplating.

Electric Galvanizing Equipment

POSCO produces electro-galvanized steel sheet using the LCC-H (Liquid Cushion Cell-Horizontal)
galvanizing process. In this process, the steel is coated on both sides simultaneously as it passes
horizontally through the line.

 Ordering Information / Cautions on Use

When you place an order, please check the following matters according to the main uses of the products.

Product Name & Dimensions Please select the appropriate product name and dimensions depending on the main purposes of the relevant product
referring to this catalog.
Usage, Post-Treatment It is very important to designate some appropriate post-treatment methods depending on the quality emphasized and the
environments to use since we control the quality appropriately to each purpose of use.
Coating Weight Please select a coating weight appropriate according to the required corrosion resistance level, conditions to use and the
processing method. In case of highlighting its corrosion resistance property, please select post-treated plating method and in case
of emphasizing workability, select a foil plating method.
Oiling Please select either method of an oiling with anti-rust oil or no-oiling. Please select an oiling method in order to improve an interim
anti-rust property and reduce any fingerprinting contamination or damages while in use. Since some white rust can be formed on the
surface of a product without oiling, please handle them carefully while keeping in mind of the Cautions given below.
Dimensions The available dimensions to be manufactured are based on the standard thickness, width and length specified by the KS, JIS and ASTM
POSCO Electro Galvanized Steel

POSCO Electro Galvanized Steel

Standards and the other dimensions are available by a tolerance of 0.05mm for thickness and 1mm for width and length on demand.
EDGE Please designate either a mill or slit edge type according to the conditions to use. Especially, for a product with which a stern
controlling of the width is required, it is recommended to select a slit edge type. ELECTRO
Packaging Weight Please select the maximum net weight for steel coils (if necessary, minimum net weight) according to your unloading capability
or work conditions.

- Sheet Metal: Over 3 tons incl.
- Sheet Coils: A tonnage between 5 and 30 tons Copyright Ⓒ 2022 by POSCO
26 In other cases, it is required to consult with us. All rights reserved 27
In addition, the average net weights of the products, which are actually delivered, are determined based on the relationship
between the maximum net weight and the dimensions.
Inner & Outer Diameters In case of steel coils, please designate the exact inner & outer diameters according to the specifications of an un-coiler
equipped into your shear line system.
Inclusion of Pickled Weld Seam In some cases of cold-rolled galvanized steel sheets, a weld seam or zone is sometimes included during the pickling
process. If it is difficult depending on the usage, please designate non-inclusion of any pickled weld seam or zone in advance. But, in
this case, the size of steel coil is limited.
Dimensional Tolerance(Thickness, Width and Length) However, there are some cases that some specifications should be strictly met according to
the conditions to use, such as precision in assembly and of components, etc. In case of such a demand, please check the specifications in advance by
consulting with us.

Electro-galvanized steel cannot deliver the robust quality and performance expected unless handled in the
proper manner. Please take care to heed the following guidelines during use.

Surface management Please be cautious not to damage or mar the surface during transit or manufacturing.

Processing Please take sufficient care of the processing environment. Refrain from processing steel at high temperature or in areas with high
concentrations of toxic or corrosive fumes. POSCO Headquarters
Storage Please store steel in a dry place. Do not store the steel where it may be exposed to moisture or where temperature changes are large. Global Quality & Service Management Office
Please avoid outdoor storage as this accelerates rust formation. 6261, Donghaean-ro, Nam-gu, Pohang-si,
