Wholesale Aluminized Steel Coil
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 vs stainless steel
- Aluminized steel is more economical than stainless steel.
- Stainless steel is stronger and more durable.
- Stainless steel resists rust, while aluminized steel can corrode if the aluminum coating is damaged.
- Aluminized steel has higher thermal conductivity, but stainless steel has a higher thermal expansion coefficient.
- Aluminized steel features an electrostatic surface, ideal for exhaust systems.
- Stainless steel offers better aesthetic appeal and is often used in architectural designs.
- Aluminized steel is commonly used in appliances, while stainless steel is widely used in kitchenware and construction.

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
