 U. S. Steel produces a variety of
coated steel sheet products:
Electrogalvanized Zinc and Zinc/Iron-Alloy Coated
Sheet Products, and Hot-Dip Coated Galvanized Sheet, Culvert Sheet,
ACRYZINC® Sheet,
GALVALUME® Sheet, ACRYLUME®
Sheet, and Terne Coated Sheet Products. These products are manufactured to
meet almost any customer ordered requirement with respect to corrosion resistance of the
coating, strength level and/or formability requirements of the steel sheet, thickness, width,
surface quality, and surface finish.
 |
U. S. Steel's Coated Steel Sheet Products begin with a high-quality
steel substrate. Our investment in state-of-the-art steel-making
capabilities, ladle metallurgy, vacuum degassing, continuous casting and
hot and cold rolling facilities results in steel sheet of excellent and
consistent quality. This advanced technology, coupled with ultramodern
coating facilities, gives U. S. Steel's customers the widest choice of
superior coated steel sheet
products. |
Steel sheet products have many attributes that
make them suitable for a very wide range of applications. Designers and manufacturers choose steel
sheet because they need steel's combination of strength, formability,
joinability, paintability, and economy.  In
addition to these attributes, when faced with the ever-increasing demand
by customers for better performance, designers and manufacturers need to
apply steels that can resist corrosion in many types of environments. Fortunately, steel can be coated with several types of
metallic coatings that provide very substantial improvements in corrosion
performance whether the steel is used for cars, trucks, buildings, storage
containers, mailboxes, or numerous other applications. In addition to gaining the protection
afforded by the metallic coating, coated-steel sheet is readily painted to
gain not only better corrosion resistance but also very attractive
colors.

U.S.
Steel's family of coated steel sheet products includes both hot-dipped and
electrolytically-applied coatings. The protective coatings add superior
corrosion resistance to the many other desirable properties of steel. |

| The various types of U.S. Steel
Coated Steel Sheet products gives the
designer and manufacturer a choice of combinations to provide the amount of corrosion
resistance required, strength, formability, paintability surface
appearance and other properties and characteristics to closely match the steel sheet to the
need, whatever the environment. |

 The
recent introduction of two innovative products, ACRYLUME®
sheet and ACRYZINC® sheet, allows us to provide
additional product flexibility.
