Coated steel refers to carbon or low-alloy steel (usually carbon steel) that is covered with a protective layer to enhance corrosion resistance, surface quality, and durability. At Huaxiao-Alloy, we specialize in the export of high-performance coated steel materials used across construction, automotive, appliances, and industrial manufacturing.
As a trusted coated steel supplier, we offer full-grade and surface solutions tailored to your application needs.
