Phosphated Steel (PO) is a type of steel with a surface coating known as "phosphating" or "oxide coating." The production process for this steel typically involves placing the steel sheet in an oxygen-containing environment to create an oxide layer on the steel surface. This oxide layer helps protect the steel from corrosion and provides a visually appealing shiny appearance.
PO steel is widely used by manufacturers in the automotive and bicycle industries for various product components such as frames, chains, sprockets, wheel rims, and gearboxes.
Additionally, PO steel serves as a raw material for the cold-rolled industry, particularly for galvanized steel tube manufacturing.
