What is zinc aluminum magnesium steel?

The Zinc Aluminum Magnesium steel is composed of a dense alloy coating. It is the most precise and best coating material. Under the same coating, the service life of Zinc Aluminum Magnesium steel is 10-20 times that of galvanizing steel.

Which steel is best for PV mounting?

To do so, it requires a robust supporting structure made from high-quality steel with effective corrosion protection. With ZM Ecoprotect ® Solar, thyssenkrupp Steel now offering high-performance, zinc-magnesium-coated steels for PV mounting systems – durable, robust and sustainable.

What is the best corrosion protection for solar mounting structures?

Your contacts when it comes to high-performance corrosion protection for solar mounting structures: Arne Schreiber, Product Management and Jennifer Schulz, Surface Development. ZM Ecoprotect ® Solar offers several advantages compared to pure zinc coatings.

Why should you choose ZM ecoprotect ® solar?

The new coating is the consistent economic further development as an alternative to batch galvanizing. The guaranteed service life of up to 25 years also leads to low maintenance expenditure on the PV ground-mounted systems. With ZM Ecoprotect ® Solar, we are clearly offering extra sustainability.

Are ZM coated steels good for roll forming?

ZM-coated steels are excellently formable and particularly suitable for roll forming. Their surface is harder than that of zinc coatings, which means significantly less abrasion is generated in the die, and this in turn reduces wear on the forming dies.

How has photovoltaic technology improved the environment?

In the past ten years, solar energy has been rapidly developed and widely applied in the photovoltaic markets. With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, consumers' willingness to install photovoltaic products has gradually increased, which not only improves the environment, but also promotes the progress of photovoltaic technology.
