Galvanized wire is made of high-quality low-carbon steel wire rod. It is made of high-quality low-carbon steel, through drawing, pickling, rust removal, high-temperature annealing, hot-dip galvanizing, cooling and other process processes. Galvanized iron wire has good toughness and elasticity, and the maximum zinc content can reach 300 grams/square meter. It has the characteristics of thick zinc coating and strong corrosion resistance. It is widely used in various fields such as construction, handicrafts, woven wire mesh, highway guardrails, product packaging and daily civilian use.
Galvanized wire is divided into hot-dip galvanized wire and electro-galvanized wire
Hot-dip galvanized wire is dipped in heated and molten zinc liquid. The production speed is fast, the coating is thick but uneven, the minimum thickness allowed by the market is 45 microns, and the maximum can reach more than 300 microns. The color is darker, the zinc metal is consumed more, and the penetration layer is formed with the base metal. It has good corrosion resistance. Hot-dip galvanizing can be maintained for decades in outdoor environments.
Electro-galvanized wire is produced by passing unidirectional electric current in an electroplating tank to gradually plate zinc onto the metal surface. The production speed is slow, the coating is uniform, the thickness is thin, usually only 3-15 microns, the appearance is bright, and the corrosion resistance is poor, and it will generally rust within a few months.
