Galvanized iron wire is a type of binding wire that has been coated with zinc to resist corrosion and rust. The process of galvanization(electro-galvanized,hot dipped galvanized) involves creating a protective layer on the surface. This makes the galvanized iron wire suitable for outdoor use and in environments where moisture and other corrosive elements are present. The galvanized iron wire is commonly used in fencing, binding, and construction reinforcement due to its durability and cost-effectiveness compared to stainless steel alternatives.
Specification
Galvanized low carbon steel wires are galvanized iron wires made of high quality wire rods(SAE1008).After pickling and rust removal, and drawing into shape, wire rods can be made into iron wires of various wire gauges. Manufacturers typically add a layer of zinc protection to the surface of the iron wire from hot dipped galvanization or electro-galvanization. This zinc layer provides the iron wire with excellent rust and corrosion resistance, making galvanized iron wires more suitable for outdoor use.
Features:
Corrosion Resistance: The primary feature of galvanized iron wire is its resistance to corrosion. The zinc coating protects the underlying iron wire from the elements, preventing rust and extending its lifespan.
High Strength: Galvanized iron wires are known for their high tensile strength and durability. The galvanized iron wire can withstand high amounts of stress without breaking, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications.
Flexibility: Despite their strength, these galvanized iron wires are also quite flexible. The galvanized iron wires can be bent, twisted, and turned without breaking, which makes them easy to work with in a variety of settings.
