The heat resistance of 55% Al-Zn steel plates is slightly lower than that of aluminum plates or hot-dip aluminized steel plates, but their corrosion resistance is better. Herein,by testing at different baking temperatures and for different periods,the trends of color,gloss,and loss weight have been analyzed. The heat-resistant properties of differently post-treated 55% Al- Zn steel plates,aluminum plates,and hot-dip aluminized steel plates have been studied.展开更多

However, the maintenance and the durability of the materials used have been a challenge for architects and professionals in the field. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the anti-corrosion performance of a steel framing profile, galvanized carbon steel (55% Al-Zn), a sustainable material with easy assembly, to apply LWS in the hot and humid tropical climate of Niterói (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). In order to create the conditions of the tests, “X” cut were made in Al-Zn coating, sanding, and application of epoxy and glass fiber-reinforced polyester. After the experiments that lasted four months, the 55% Al-Zn coating was analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The results of the tests were promising for the use of this galvanized steel for application as a support for green vertical facades. 55% Al-Zn coatings are recommended for marine atmospheres due to their good anti-corrosion performance.展开更多
