Galvanized steel wire is a type of steel wire made from highcarbon steel(#45) and treated with a galvanizing process. Galvanized steel wire has high hardness, great tensile strength, and is resistant to rust, making the galvanized steel wire widely used in the construction and manufacturing industries. Galvanized steel wire can be used to produce wire mesh, fishing nets, springs, automobile parts, and more.
Specification
Electro-galvanized steel wire is a type of high carbon steel(#45) wire that has undergone an electroplating process to apply a protective zinc coating. This process involves immersing the steel wire in an electrolyte solution and using an electric current to facilitate the deposition of zinc onto the steel wire. The result is a thin, smooth, and uniform layer of zinc that provides a measure of corrosion resistance.
The primary advantage of electro-galvanized steel wire is its aesthetic appeal. The electroplating process yields a surface that's smoother and more reflective than hot-dipped galvanizing methods, making the electro galvanized steel wire a preferred choice for applications where appearance matters. This electro-galvanized steel wire is also less prone to flaking since the zinc coating is tightly bonded to the steel.
However, the zinc layer on electro-galvanized steel wire is thinner compared to hot-dipped galvanized wire, which means the electro galvanized steel wire may offer less corrosion resistance over time. Despite this, electro-galvanized steel wire is still widely used in many industries, including construction, manufacturing, and automotive, for making wire mesh, springs, and other components where high precision and aesthetic quality are required.
