Galvannealed what is it & why it should be used?
Galvannealed is the result of the combined process of galvanizing and annealing the steel. The galvanization is made through the hot-dipping process and gives a very fine grayish matte finish. Galvanneal does not flake off it’s galvanized coating when formed, stamped, and bent. The very fine matte finish acts like a primer and easily adheres to paint and it is very rust proof. Galvanneal sheets offer good paintability, weldability, corrosion resistance, and formability. It is extensively used in the automobile, signage, electric equipment, and other industries requiring good paintability and long reliable service life.
Action’s galvannealed bodies will not rust and would be an excellent investment in your business. This body will most likely outlast the life of your vehicle.
