    Corrosion-Resistant Low-Carbon Steel Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Steel. Corrosion-Resistant Low-Carbon Steel Sheets.
    These sheets are treated for good corrosion resistance. Also known as mild steel, low-carbon steel is easy to machine and form. It's widely fabricated into parts that don’t require high strength, such as enclosures, brackets, and mounting plates.
    Zinc-Coating Weight Designation—Zinc-coating weight designation indicates the level of corrosion resistance. A higher number means there’s a thicker coating and greater corrosion protection.

    Sheets
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Zinc. Zinc Foil and Sheets, Sheets.
    Use sheets to make parts that draw corrosion away from nearby metal in water tanks, heat exchangers, and marine applications. They meet MIL-A-18001 for chemical composition, so they break down faster than other types of metal. Attach them directly to the materials you want to protect.

    Expanded Panels—Flattened
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated, Border. Metal Panels. Expanded Panels—Flattened.
    Image of Specification. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Flattened.
    Expanded panels are more rigid than perforated panels and are for use when structural stability is important. They can be formed and welded; however, they are more difficult to cut than perforated panels.
    Flattened panels begin as raised panels, then they're rolled to a smooth and flat finish. Use them to create protective enclosures, shelving, grilles, and baskets.
    Galvanized Carbon Steel—Galvanized steel has good corrosion resistance in wet environments and can be used outdoors.
