Aluminized Steel Strips Factory Mill
Aluminized steel’s heat shield makes it an ideal, cost-effective choice for fabrications exposed to punishing temperatures: automotive exhaust, plus HVAC and equipment, such as water heaters, furnaces heat exchangers, space heaters, ranges and appliances of multiple sizes. It also performs nicely against exposure to salts.

Aluminized Steel Properties and Benefits
Aluminum may be a soft metal by itself, but it creates one tough product when melded with aluminized steel. In fact, aluminized steel can withstand temperatures up to 900 degrees Fahrenheit and keep its shiny appearance the entire time.
There are many benefits to aluminized steel, including:
- The strength of steel with the corrosion resistance of aluminum
- High-temperature resistance
- Low thermal expansion
- Formability that allows rolling, folding, bending, and even corrugating
- All common steel grade types are available in Aluminized: CS-B, DS, DDS, and EDDS. High strength options also.

What is Aluminized Steel Used For?
Aluminized steel is found in several industries, but mostly where you’ll find heat. That’s because this alloy has high heat resistance in addition to a natural aversion to corrosion.
Some common products that are made from aluminized steel include:
- Heat exchangers in residential furnaces
- Commercial rooftop HVAC units
- Automotive mufflers
- Ovens and kitchen ranges
- Water heaters
- Fireplaces
- Barbecue burners
- Baking pans, including cooking sheets, muffin pans, and roasting pans
