2.What should you pay attention to when purchasing light steel keels?
(1)Look at the surface galvanizing process
The surface of light steel keels is generally galvanized in order to prevent the light steel keels from rusting. When we purchase light steel keels, we should carefully observe whether the galvanized layer on the surface of the light steel keels is even. If it is uneven, it will easily rust and will also affect the wall thickness of the light steel keel. If the galvanized layer of the light steel keel appears to be peeling off, pitted, etc., it is an inferior product and is not recommended for everyone to buy.+
(2)Look at the surface coating
There is usually a coating on the surface of the keel to prevent the keel from rusting. When purchasing keels, we should check whether the coating surface of the same batch of keels is consistent. If so, it means that the keels are doing a good job in moisture-proof. Under normal circumstances, the quality of keel is considered to be of high quality if it feels hard and has small gaps.
