Galvanized wire is galvanized on the surface of ordinary iron wire. Generally, the thicker the zinc layer, the larger the wire diameter and the more durable it is.

In fact, galvanized wire is everywhere in our lives. Some of its more common uses and applications are as follows:

1. Fences and cages
2. Farms, gardens, and agricultural uses
3. Windows and security doors
4. Archaeological uses
5. Construction projects
6. Filling panels
7. High-security applications
8. Landscaping
9. Wall and stone retention
10. Greenhouse use
11. Particle separation
12. General industrial uses
    

    It is not difficult to find from the above applications that they are all finished products after galvanized wire is reprocessed, such as welding to obtain welded mesh, weaving to obtain woven mesh, twisting to obtain barbed wire, plastic coating to obtain PVC wire, etc.

     

    Characteristics of galvanized wire

    Its typical characteristics are high corrosion resistance, good toughness, good elasticity and high tensile strength. Especially the woven diamond mesh, or the chain link fence, is actually the same product, just with different names. They are often used in playgrounds, farms, office areas, etc. Even if there is a slight impact, it can be quickly restored, so the chain link fence made of galvanized wire has good impact resistance.

     

    Galvanized wire production process

    The production process of galvanized steel wire usually includes steps such as pickling, phosphating, and wire drawing, among which the galvanizing process is the key. According to the different galvanizing methods, it can be divided into hot-dip galvanizing and electro-galvanizing. Hot-dip galvanizing is to immerse the steel wire in molten zinc liquid to form a zinc alloy layer on the surface of the steel wire through chemical reaction; electro-galvanizing is to deposit a layer of zinc on the surface of the steel wire through electrolysis

     

    The process of galvanized wire mesh

    Galvanizing can be carried out before or after the manufacture of the wire mesh - whether it is a woven mesh or a welded mesh. Depending on the mesh size (or opening size) and wire diameter, galvanizing first and then woven wire mesh or galvanizing first and then welded wire mesh is usually a more economical choice, especially when custom processing is required. Galvanized wire mesh after weaving or galvanized wire mesh after welding is more expensive but does provide a higher level of corrosion resistance. This enhanced corrosion resistance is most obvious at the joints or intersections after welding.

     

    A major advantage of galvanized wire mesh, especially galvanized welded mesh, is that it can provide a variety of mesh and wire diameter specifications. For example, mesh sizes of 4 mesh, 2 mesh, 1 mesh, and ½ mesh are common wire mesh specifications that are often easily available from stock.

     

    Galvanized Wire Standards and Specifications

    Different industries have different requirements and standards. For example, galvanized steel wire for bridge cables, galvanized steel wire for cotton baling, and galvanized steel wire for communication lines all have their specific specifications and standards.

    These standards are usually formulated and published by national or industry organizations.

    You should find a regular manufacturer, such as China's Wanzhi Steel, which has been specializing in the production of galvanized wire for 13 years and has rich experience. It has exported to dozens of countries around the world, including Yemen, India, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, the Philippines, Egypt, Azerbaijan, South Africa, Singapore, etc.

     

    Galvanized Wire Precautions

    1. When choosing the diameter and coating thickness of the galvanized wire, the appropriate specifications should be selected according to the specific application. You can find China's Wanzhi Steel, a professional galvanized wire manufacturer, for consultation, free sample service, and large discounts for large orders.
    2. Pay attention to the price-performance ratio, don't blindly pursue low prices. Some people will experience corrosion one month or even half a month after buying it. Obviously, this is caused by the manufacturer's substandard production or the recommended specifications.
    3. During storage and cleaning, galvanized steel wire should be protected from mechanical damage and humid environments.
