Galvalume is a coating comprised of 55% zinc and 45% aluminum. It is commonly used on steel roofing as a way to protect it from corrosion and has great reflectivity and is long lasting. V-Crimp is a particular type of metal roofing (other people call it 5V-Crimp). Some people use these terms interchangably. Essentially you could have a v-crimp roof coated with Galvalume. See the drawing attached showing Galvalume coating and 5V-Crimp panel style.
