BIS Certification for Zinc, Aluminum, Magnesium Coated Steel Products

Updated on August 02, 2025 03:47:16 PM

The hot-dip zinc-aluminum-magnesium alloy coated steel sheets, plates, and strips can be classified as one of the new breakthroughs of the material of science and engineering since they have the feature of high durability and corrosion protection for many applications. This advanced hot dip coating technique is used to dip the substrates in a molten metallic bath containing zinc, aluminum, and magnesium and produces a stronger anti-corrosive shield than the accepted galvanization techniques. In India, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has established IS 18513:2023 to control the quality and performance of these coated products to specific controls like safety and reliability.

It is because processing industries require steel materials that can deal with difficult conditions of varying environments that the application of Hot-Dip Zinc-Aluminium-Magnesium Alloy Coated Steel has gained the recognition that it enjoys today. In this blog the following topics will be covered: manufacturing of plates, performance characteristics of plates, methods of testing the performance, and the all-important factor that is BIS certification. In the case of the two above-mentioned aspects, the manufacturers can have an understanding of the various benefits of these advanced materials in construction, automotive parts as well and infrastructure development that in the end can help to improve on safety or durability of the steel structures and hence improving on the safety and sustainability in the construction industry.

What are the Zinc-Aluminum-Magnesium Coated Steel?

Hot-dip zinc-aluminum-magnesium Alloy Coated Steel Sheets, plates, and strips for building construction since they offer much better protective layers and reasonable useful characteristics. The coating is a method under which, steels are submerged in a molten zinc-aluminum-magnesium bath to form a surface layer that actuates the metallic properties of steels for usage in severe conditions. This means alloy coating has advantages over galvanization such as increased resistance to corrosion, improved adhesion, and mechanical properties.

The Indian Standard IS 18513:2023 prescribes the standard for these coated products to provide quality products that meet certain quality standards. This standard is a major component in a large campaign by the BIS to address issues with the quality of steel products in India especially those used in major construction and infrastructure development projects.
