Hot dip 5% Al-Zn is a kind of Al-Zn
alloyed coating.

Yieh Phui(China) has achieved the patent authorization in 1998 and began to produce hot-dip 5%
Al-Zn steel sheet. Because of the excellent corrosion resistance and forming/stamping performance,
it is widely used in automobile parts and construction materials with high forming requirements.
