Galvanized steel wire is a type of high carbon steel wire that has been coated with a thin layer of zinc. This coating helps to protect the steel from rust and corrosion, making it ideal for use in outdoor environments or in applications where it will be exposed to moisture. Galvanized steel wire is commonly used in construction, agriculture, fencing, and other industries where durability and resistance to corrosion are important factors.
Specification
| Product name | Galvanized steel wire/GI steel wire |
| Surface treatment | hot-dipped galvanized or electro-galvanized |
| Raw material | #45 high tensile steel wire |
| Applications | High tensile strength steel wire can be used as fishing nets, springs or wire mesh,etc. |
Corrosion Resistance: The primary advantage of galvanized steel wire is its increased resistance to corrosion compared to uncoated low carbon steel wire. The zinc coating creates a barrier that protects the steel from oxidation and other forms of environmental degradation.
Longer Lifespan: Because the GI steel wire resists corrosion better than uncoated steel, galvanized steel wire has a longer lifespan, making it a cost-effective choice for applications where durability is important.
Reduced Maintenance: The need for maintenance is significantly reduced with galvanized steel wire since it does not require frequent repainting or coating to maintain its protective properties.
Enhanced Safety: In applications like fencing or construction, galvanized steel wire remains stronger and more secure over time, enhancing safety by maintaining structural integrity.

10 Gauge GI High Carbon Steel Wire: This is a thicker wire with a diameter of approximately 3.25 mm (BWG) or 3.4 mm (SWG) and is used for heavy-duty applications such as construction, heavy machinery, and industrial settings where high tensile strength is required.
12 Gauge GI High Carbon Steel Wire: With a wire diameter of about 2.64 mm (BWG) or 2.77 mm (SWG), the 12 guage GI steel wire is used for medium-duty applications such as fencing, agricultural support, and general construction.
14 Gauge GI High Carbon Steel Wire: The 14 guage GI steel wire has a diameter of around 2.03 mm (BWG) or 2.11 mm (SWG) and is suitable for lighter applications like poultry mesh cages, hangers, and general repairs.
16 Gauge GI High Carbon Steel Wire: With a smaller diameter of approximately 1.63 mm (BWG) or 1.65 mm (SWG), the 16 gauge GI steel wire is ideal for delicate tasks that require a balance of strength and flexibility, such as trellises, light fencing, and craft projects.
18 Gauge GI High Carbon Steel Wire: The thinnest of the group with a wire diameter of about 1.22 mm (BWG) or 1.25 mm (SWG), the 18 gauge GI steel wire is used for very fine applications like detailing in crafts, light hanging, and other areas where a small, strong wire is needed.
