Magnelis® - Protection in the harshest environments - 1

Flat Carbon Europe An innovative metallic coating that offers protection

Magnelis® - Protection in the harshest environments - 2

The harshest environments need the toughest skin protection > he most cost-effective T alternative to the post-galvanised process Corrosion resistance in cyclic test for different Zn, Al, Mg compositions > The best suited protection to withstand harsh environments > The best corrosion resistance performance; up to 10 times better than galvanised steel Magnelis® is produced on a classic industrial hot dip galvanising line, but dipped in a molten bath with a unique metallic chemical composition of zinc with 3.5% aluminium and 3% magnesium. The 3% magnesium is crucial as it creates a stable...

Magnelis® - Protection in the harshest environments - 4

Superior corrosion resistance The destruction of coating that occurs in an ammonia environment is seven times less with Magnelis® than with a standard zinc coating. In addition, Magnelis® guarantees a longer-lasting, active coating protection over time. Over an eight-month period, a range of metallic coated products were submitted to salt spray tests. The results clearly highlighted the superior corrosion resistance performance of Magnelis® over other metallic coatings. No red rust was observed on the Magnelis® sample. N° of hours before appearance of 5% red rust Nothing offers better...

Magnelis® - Protection in the harshest environments - 5

Self-repairing protection on cut edges In addition to being fortified by a cathodic protection equivalent to zinc coating, Magnelis® protects exposed cut edges with a thin zinc-based protective film with magnesium, which prevents corrosive reactions. The nature of this film varies depending on the environment and the properties according to the aluminium and magnesium content. 6 months 30-40% red rust - 60% white rust 16 months 10% red rust - 70% white rust Outdoor exposure over different time periods of Magnelis® ZM250 with 2 mm thickness in Brest (France) Marine category C5-M (the most...

Magnelis® - Protection in the harshest environments - 6

Excellent workability Thanks to its highly resistant, adherent metallic layer, Magnelis® can be formed in a variety of methods, including bending, drawing, profiling etc. A protective oxide barrier covers the weld, preventing the development of red rust. Thinner coating facilitates processing and delivers substantial savings. By decreasing the amount of metallic coating, while safeguarding corrosion resistance levels, spot welding is consequently improved. Magnelis® performs three times better than standard galvanised steel, reduces powdering effect and loses less coating weight in...
