Its raw material is a slab, which is turned into steel strip on a hot rolling line. The strip is either used as it is (hot-rolled sheet) or processed further by pickling, cold rolling, galvanizing and painting to obtain a thinner gauge, a better surface or a protective coating.<\/p>\n<p>Sheet is supplied in two forms: <strong>coil<\/strong>, a continuous wound strip, and <strong>cut sheets<\/strong>, cut to a fixed length.

The result is the mass in kilograms.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Why does galvanized sheet resist rust?<\/summary>\n<p>The zinc coating acts as a barrier between the steel and its environment.
