Why Choose Aluminized Steel Exhaust Systems?

Teda Metal has been manufacturing aluminized steel exhaust systems for decades. There are several reasons why aluminized steel has been our material of choice for so long.

Durability and Corrosion Resistance

Aluminized steel consists of three layers: a steel core, an intermediate layer of aluminum with silicone, and a surface layer of aluminum oxide. The outer layers protect the core from oxygen, making aluminized steel more resistant to corrosion than other iron alloys. This resistance results in longer-lasting exhaust systems, reducing maintenance downtime for our customers.

Easier to Work With Than Black Steel

While black steel is rust-resistant and suitable for exhaust components, its surface is often oily, making it harder to weld, paint, and work with. Aluminized steel, in contrast, has a cleaner surface that simplifies these processes.

Heat Resistance

Aluminized steel performs well under high temperatures. It maintains its strength at temperatures up to 677°C (1,251°F). Additionally, aluminized steel exhaust systems have a greater electrostatic surface than stainless steel, reflecting up to 80% of heat at temperatures as high as 842°C (1,548°F).

Strength-to-Weight Ratio

Aluminized steel offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. OEM exhaust systems are often heavier than necessary, which can lead to various operational issues. Our goal is to produce durable yet lightweight parts to improve efficiency.

Cost-Effectiveness

Aluminized steel provides the strength of iron alloys with expensive additions like nickel, titanium, and tungsten, but at a fraction of the cost. Mines that use aluminized steel exhaust systems see significant improvements in their bottom lines, just as those using our stainless steel systems do.

Aluminized steel exhaust systems are a smart choice for durability, cost-effectiveness, and performance.
