Galvannealed Steel Solutions
Galvannealed Steel
Galvannealing is a specialized process producing a zinc-iron alloy product by combining a hot-dip galvanization and the annealing. Galvannealed Steel provides a perfect medium for welding and the matte finish produced by the process allows for easy painting.

Discover the Benefits of ROHS Compliant Galvannealed Steel from Viking Materials
Sacrificial coatings are an essential solution for protecting base materials from corrosion. One of the most effective methods involves coating carbon steel with zinc, resulting in galvanized steel. At Viking Materials, we specialize in galvannealed steel, a superior, eco-friendly product that stands out due to its unique manufacturing process and exceptional performance.
What is Galvannealed Steel?
Galvannealed steel is a premium form of galvanized steel, created through a specialized process. Initially, the steel is submerged in a bath of molten zinc alloy, allowing the zinc to bond to the surface. After this initial coating, the steel passes through an air knife that removes excess zinc, resulting in a thinner, more uniform layer. The material is then annealed in a furnace, causing the zinc and steel surface to alloy, creating a durable and cohesive finish. This process enhances the properties of the steel, making it ideal for a variety of applications.
ROHS Compliant and Environmentally Safe
Viking Materials is committed to sustainability and environmental responsibility. Our galvannealed steel products are ROHS compliant, ensuring they meet strict environmental and safety standards. Specifically, our steel is free from Hexavalent Chromium, one of the 10 substances restricted by ROHS 3. By choosing Viking Materials, you can be confident that your products adhere to regulatory requirements and contribute to a safer, greener planet.
The 10 substances restricted by ROHS 3 include:
- Cadmium
- Lead
- Hexavalent Chromium
- Mercury
- Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB)
- Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE)
- Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP)
- Benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP)
- Dibutyl phthalate (DBP)
- Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP)
Why Choose Galvannealed Steel from Viking Materials?
Superior Paintability: The matte finish of our galvannealed steel provides an excellent surface for paint adhesion, ensuring your products look better and last longer, with reduced maintenance costs.
Enhanced Durability: Our galvannealed steel features a harder zinc coating, increasing resistance to scratches and other damages. This makes it ideal for applications where durability and longevity are crucial.
Improved Formability and Weldability: Viking Materials’ galvannealed steel offers superior formability and weldability compared to other galvanized steels, making it versatile for your manufacturing needs.
Better Corrosion Resistance: While the zinc coating is thinner than standard galvanized steel, it still offers significantly better corrosion resistance than uncoated carbon steel, ensuring your products can endure harsh environments.
Applications of ROHS Compliant Galvannealed Steel
Our galvannealed steel serves a wide range of industries. Whether you need thin, low-carbon steel for automobile brackets or thick, high-strength steel for building structures, Viking Materials has you covered. Our products are perfect for:
Automotive Industry: Excellent for parts requiring painting and corrosion resistance.
Construction: Ideal for structural components that demand durability.
Marine Applications: Enhanced resistance to corrosion in harsh conditions.
Welding Operations: Superior weldability for complex projects.
