345 Class1+AZ is a type of steel commonly used in the construction and manufacturing industries. The "345" refers to the steel's yield strength of 345 MPa, indicating its medium strength. The "Class1" suggests it is a higher-grade version of this material, suitable for demanding applications. The "+AZ" indicates that the steel has been coated with a layer of aluminum-zinc alloy, enhancing its corrosion resistance.
This steel grade combines the strength of carbon steel with the added benefits of the aluminum-zinc coating. The coating protects the steel from rust and corrosion, which is particularly useful in environments where the material is exposed to moisture, salt, or chemicals.
Key Benefits
Corrosion Resistance
The aluminum-zinc coating significantly improves the steel's ability to resist corrosion compared to regular galvanized steel.
Strength
The 345 MPa yield strength ensures the material can withstand significant stress, making it suitable for structural components.
Durability
The combination of strength and corrosion resistance makes it ideal for long-lasting applications in both indoor and outdoor environments.
Applications
345 Class1+AZ is often used in the construction of buildings, bridges, and industrial machinery, as well as in automotive and roofing applications where both strength and resistance to corrosion are required.
