Product Details
20 gauge aluminized sheet metal is a popular thickness (~0.0375 inches or 0.95 mm) used in various industrial applications. Combining the strength of steel with aluminum or aluminum–silicon coating, it offers corrosion resistance, heat tolerance, and durability, making it ideal for automotive, heating, and industrial equipment.
1. Material Performance
| Property | Typical Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Thickness | 0.0375 in / 0.95 mm | Standard 20 gauge |
| Yield Strength | 170–280 MPa | Supports structural stability |
| Tensile Strength | 300–400 MPa | Moderate strength for forming and fabrication |
| Elongation | 25–35% | Suitable for bending, stamping, and roll forming |
| Hardness | 60–80 HRB | Surface hardness influenced by coating thickness |
| Heat Resistance | Up to 650–800°C | Depends on Al-Si coating type |
| Corrosion Resistance | High | Aluminum-based coating protects against oxidation |
