Cold finished ASTM A653 is a type of galvanized steel that is processed by cold rolling to achieve its final dimensions and surface finish. This process results in improved strength, surface quality, and dimensional accuracy compared to hot rolled steel. Cold finished ASTM A653 has good corrosion resistance, making it suitable for various outdoor and industrial applications.

Cold finished ASTM A653 is commonly used in the manufacturing of parts that require good corrosion resistance, such as roofing, siding, gutters, and downspouts. It is also used in the construction industry for framing, decking, and metal buildings. The good formability and weldability of cold finished ASTM A653 make it a versatile material for various applications.

Fastmetals.com offers cold finished ASTM A653 in galvanized sheet. The sheets are available in various sizes, ranging from 16, 18 and 20 gauge in thickness and up to 48x48 inches in width. The product pages provide additional information on the specific dimensions and tolerances of the material.
