GI Galvanized Steel Coils Suppliers

Gerald and Son is a leading supplier of galvanized steel sheets and coils. Galvanized steel refers to carbon steel that has been coated with zinc on both sides. There are two primary methods used for producing galvanized steel: continuous hot-dip plating and electro-galvanizing.

In the hot-dip galvanizing process, steel is submerged in a bath of molten zinc, whereas electro-galvanizing uses an electrolytic process to apply zinc. The outcome is a tightly bonded zinc layer that adheres to the steel through an iron-zinc bond. Our hot-dip galvanized products are manufactured to ASTM A653 standards, and our electro-galvanized products meet ASTM A879 standards.
