MagiZinc is the innovative metallic coating of Tata Steel Strip Products IJmuiden. This coating offers improved corrosion protection allowing reduction up to 50% of the zinc coating thickness against a competitive cost. Any application which asks for galvanised steel could be subject for a change to this revolutionary metallic coating.

MagiZinc is a zinc coating that incorporates a small fraction of magnesium and aluminum. 

Main benefits

Superior corrosion protection

Due to its improved corrosion protection, MagiZinc allows the standard coating thickness of 275 g/m² easily to be halved, while corrosion protection is still significantly better than that achieved with normal zinc coating.

Improved yield

Given the same core steel thickness, and half the usual layer of zinc, a tonne of steel simply produces more square metres. The thinner and lighter coating results in up to 4% more m² per tonne material, depending on the thickness of the steel.

Physical qualities

Material application trials - including forming and joining - have demonstrated the excellent physical

qualities of MagiZinc. Treated with our second-generation chromium-free passivating agent, it has outstanding processing properties. MagiZinc is also perfect for deep drawing, ensuring excellent paint adhesion, while the reduced coating thickness improves weldability. An additional benefit is that the coated surface is harder. This improves both scratch and wear resistance.

MagiZinc is currently available on a selection of the standard range offered by Tata Steel Strip Products IJmuiden. If you have a different specification than found in the following product sheets, please contact the sales departments at Tata Steel Strip Products IJmuiden.
