Corrugated galvanised iron (CGI) or steel, colloquially corrugated iron (near universal), wriggly tin (taken from UK military slang), pailing (in Caribbean English), corrugated sheet metal (in North America), zinc (in Cyprus and Nigeria) or custom orb / corro sheet (Australia), is a building material composed of sheets of hot-dip galvanised ...
Normal applications have spaces between the supports that are approx. 3 m – 5 m. The thickness of panels is from 40 mm up to more than 200 mm. The density of sandwich panels range from 10 kg/m 2 up to 35 kg/m 2, depending on the foam and metal thickness, decreasing time and effort in: transportation, handling and installation.
The steel is pickled in an acidic solution to remove mill scale. The pickling solution is rinsed off. A flux, often zinc ammonium chloride is applied to the steel to inhibit oxidation of the cleaned surface upon exposure to air. The flux is allowed to dry on the steel and aids in the process of the liquid zinc wetting and adhering to the steel.

The main differences in composition, when compared with austenitic stainless steel is that duplex steels have a higher chromium content, 20–28%; higher molybdenum, up to 5%; lower nickel, up to 9% and 0.05–0.50% nitrogen. Both the low nickel content and the high strength (enabling thinner sections to be used) give significant cost benefits.
Nippon Steel and U.S. Steel insist they are committed to a decarbonized operation by 2050. Yet they appear far from a path to get there, still more reliant on coal-fired furnaces.
