Which is better, zinc-aluminum-magnesium or hot-dip galvanized materials for photovoltaic brackets?

Comparison between Zinc-aluminum-magnesium and Hot-dip Galvanized Materials for Photovoltaic Bracket

Zinc-aluminum-magnesium and hot-dip galvanized materials are two commonly used materials for photovoltaic brackets. However, they differ in composition, manufacturing process, corrosion resistance, and application characteristics.

1. Composition

Hot-dip galvanized brackets are made by immersing pre-cleaned and activated steel brackets into molten zinc, forming a well-adhered zinc alloy coating on the surface. Zinc-aluminum-magnesium brackets, on the other hand, require the addition of certain amounts of AI and Mg molecules to the base, forming a zinc-aluminum-magnesium photovoltaic bracket.

2. Manufacturing Process

Hot-dip galvanized brackets require a second process of immersing the steel bracket in zinc after the bracket has been manufactured. Zinc-aluminum-magnesium brackets are made directly using steel ribbon coated with zinc-aluminum-magnesium, saving the need for a secondary manufacturing process.

3. Corrosion Resistance

The zinc-aluminum-magnesium coating on the brackets is 70% thinner than that of hot-dip galvanized materials. However, the coating is denser and less likely to peel or fall off, providing stronger corrosion resistance and damage resistance performance. Additionally, due to the thinner coating, zinc-aluminum-magnesium brackets are lighter in weight and more convenient to handle than hot-dip galvanized brackets of the same size.

4. Application Characteristics

Hot-dip galvanized brackets require drilling and cutting to be done during the manufacturing process, as attempting to drill or cut after manufacturing can damage the zinc coating and cause rusting. Zinc-aluminum-magnesium brackets, on the other hand, can be drilled and cut during use. The dense protective film around the zinc-aluminum-magnesium material can migrate to the cut metal, reducing the degree of corrosion and allowing for more freedom in drilling and cutting.

Zinc-aluminum-magnesium brackets have a denser, thinner, and more durable coating, making them ideal for long-term and heavy-duty use. Additionally, their convenience in handling and the flexibility to drill and cut during use make them a more versatile and user-friendly option for photovoltaic brackets.
