Hindustan Zinc has launched VedAZ and VedAyush, two next-generation zinc alloys. Developed to address diverse requirements across the galvanizing value chain, the alloys are designed to enhance process efficiency, improve coating consistency and strengthen long-term performance of galvanized steel. The launch comes at a time when corrosion management is gaining increasing importance in safeguarding industrial assists and public infrastructure. According to a 2026 CII–Nomura Research Institute report, corrosion related losses in India are estimated at around 4.3% of the country’s GDP annually. In this context, consistent coating quality, effective corrosion protection and efficient manufacturing processes are critical to industries that rely on galvanized stell. Advanced zinc alloy solutions can play an important role in improving asset durability and supporting the long-term performance of infrastructure.
VedAZ, a specialised zinc-aluminium master alloy developed for the galvanising industry, is designed to bring greater precision, consistency and efficiency to coating processes. By enabling better control of aluminium levels in galvanising baths, the alloy supports stable bath chemistry, uniform coating thickness and improved surface finish. VedAyush, a specialised zinc-aluminium-magnesium alloy, is engineered to enhance corrosion protection, durability and coating performance across demanding industrial environments. The addition of magnesium is designed to improve corrosion resistance, coating adhesion and surface stability, particularly in applications exposed to high humidity, coastal conditions and challenging industrial environments.
The launch of VedAZ and VedAyush marks another step in Hindustan Zinc's efforts to build a diversified portfolio of specialised zinc products. By working closely with galvanisers and downstream industries, the company aims to support India's growing infrastructure and manufacturing needs with solutions shaped around real application requirements.
Hindustan Zinc is engaged in the mining and smelting of zinc, lead and silver metal in India.
