What is SECC galvanized steel? steel plate

SECC steel refers to galvanized steel. SECC is short for electrolytic galvanized steel. SGCC means hot-dip galvanized steel sheet.

SECC electro-galvanized steel’s full name is "electrolytic galvanized steel sheet". It is a stamping material, which is coated with a zinc layer on the surface of the cold-rolled sheet.Anti-rust and corrosion-resistant, the price is relatively high. The general plate thickness is 0.4 - 3.2mm.
Electrogalvanized steel refers to steel products that are electroplated with a layer of zinc on the surface of the steel. Electro-galvanized sheet is used less on the market now, and it is replaced by hot-dip galvanized sheet. 

What's the difference between electrogalvanizing and hot-dip galvanizing?
Compared with electrogalvanizing, hot-dip galvanizing has the following advantages: (1) it can generate thicker coatings, and has both a pure zinc layer and an iron-zinc alloy layer, so the corrosion resistance is better; (2) hot-dip galvanizing production The efficiency is particularly high; the time that the product stays in the hot-dip galvanizing tank generally does not exceed; (3) compared to electrogalvanizing, the production cost of hot-dip galvanizing is lower and the impact on the environment is less than that of electroplating; When plating wire, tube and other profiles, the degree of automation is high.

Electrogalvanization is the use of electrolytic equipment to degrease, pickle, and put the solution into a zinc salt solution, and connect the negative electrode of the electrolytic equipment, place a zinc plate on the opposite side of the pipe, and connect the positive electrode of the electrolytic equipment. The power source uses the current to move from the positive electrode to the negative electrode to deposit a layer of zinc on the pipe. Cold-plated pipe is first processed and then galvanized.

SECC galvanized steel sheet is mainly used for electrical, electronic devices, chassis, movements and other parts.
