coated steel

Coated steel is steel that has been covered with a protective layer to prevent rust and corrosion. This coating can be made from materials like paint, zinc (galvanization), or other metals that provide a barrier against moisture, oxygen, and other elements that cause deterioration. Coated steel is widely used in construction, automotive, and appliances because it offers durability and resistance to weathering, while maintaining the strength of the underlying steel. The coating enhances the lifespan of the steel, reducing maintenance costs and increasing its suitability for various environmental conditions.
