AS 1397-2001 is the Australian standard for continuously hot-dip metallic coated steel sheet and strip used in structural and manufacturing applications. It specifies the base steel grades, coating classes, and performance requirements for galvanized, zinc-aluminum, and aluminum-zinc coated products.
This standard is widely applied in the construction, automotive, and appliance industries. It supports a variety of applications such as roofing, wall cladding, structural framing, and light gauge fabrication.
The steel products under AS 1397-2001 are categorized by strength levels (e.g. G250, G300, G450, G550) and coating types (e.g. Z, AZ, ZAM). This makes it easy for engineers and manufacturers to select the correct material based on strength and corrosion resistance.
AS 1397-2001 is essential for ensuring consistent quality, performance, and durability in Australian building and infrastructure projects.
