SGCC steel has the following characteristics and differences compared to other common steels:
1. Comparison between SGCC steel and ordinary carbon structural steel:
Chemical composition: The carbon content in SGCC steel is low, generally not more than 0.15%, while the carbon content of ordinary carbon structural steel is usually between 0.25% and 0.60%.
- Corrosion resistance: SGCC steel has the characteristics of hot dip galvanizing, with a zinc coating on the surface, providing better corrosion resistance, while ordinary carbon structural steel has no galvanizing layer and is susceptible to corrosion.
Mechanical properties: The yield strength and tensile strength of SGCC steel are generally higher, but may be slightly lower than that of higher strength carbon structural steels such as high carbon steel.
2. Comparison of SGCC steel and stainless steel:
- Chemical composition: Stainless steel contains alloying elements such as chromium and nickel to provide excellent corrosion resistance, while SGCC steel is mainly a carbon steel substrate, which is hot-dip galvanized on the surface to increase corrosion resistance.
- Corrosion resistance: Stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance, especially in resisting oxidation, acid and salt corrosion. SGCC steel provides some protection against corrosion through hot-dip galvanizing, but it is still low compared to stainless steel.
Mechanical properties: The mechanical properties of stainless steel are generally higher than those of SGCC steel, especially in terms of strength and hardness. Stainless steel also has better high temperature strength and tensile resistance.
It should be noted that each steel has its own specific use and application field, and the choice of the right steel depends on the specific needs, such as corrosion resistance, strength requirements, cost and other factors. Therefore, in practical applications, it is best to choose the appropriate steel according to the specific needs and conditions.
