About the material
Aluminized steel is carbon steel sheet hot-dipped in an aluminum-silicon alloy. The coating bonds metallurgically to the steel and forms a stable aluminum oxide film on the surface.
That oxide is what makes the material useful: it resists oxidation and scaling at temperatures well beyond where a zinc coating would fail, and it reflects rather than absorbs radiant heat.
The material forms and welds much like galvanized steel, though the coating is harder and less ductile, so severe forming needs to be proven on the actual material.
It is specified where heat, not weather, is the governing condition — anywhere a part runs hot in service.
