Galvanized steel wire is a type of steel wire that has been galvanized and has the characteristics of corrosion resistance, wear resistance and high strength. It is widely used in construction, agriculture, furniture manufacturing, automobile parts and other fields.
According to the thickness and use of the galvanized layer, galvanized steel wire can be divided into two main types: hot-dip galvanized steel wire and electro-galvanized steel wire.
Hot-dip galvanized steel wire: Galvanized steel wire is dipped in molten zinc at high temperatures. This method can form a uniform zinc layer on the surface of the steel wire, providing high corrosion resistance.
Electrogalvanized Steel Wire: Galvanizing is achieved by depositing a layer of zinc on the surface of the steel wire in an electrochemical process. This method can control the thickness of the zinc layer and have a better appearance.
Specification
Galvanized steel wire comes in a variety of sizes, usually classified according to diameter and tensile strength. Common diameters range from 0.5 mm to 6 mm, and pulling forces range from 300 Newtons to 2000 Newtons.
Implementation standards
The production and quality of galvanized steel wire is regulated by a range of international and industry standards, such as:
GB/T 343: National Standard of the People’s Republic of China
ASTM A641/A641M: American Society for Testing and Materials standards
BS EN 10244-2: European Standard
Processing methods
Galvanized steel wire can be processed by cold drawing, drawing, extrusion and other methods. These processing methods can enable steel wires to achieve different strength and shape requirements to adapt to different application scenarios.
use
Galvanized steel wire has many uses, the main ones include:
Construction industry: Used to make steel wire mesh, wire fences, wire ropes and other construction materials.
Agriculture: Used to make agricultural fences, greenhouse supports, livestock cages and other agricultural facilities.
Furniture manufacturing: Used to make springs, elastic supports and other parts for furniture.
Auto parts: Used to make car seat springs, engine parts, etc.
Overall, galvanized steel wire has a wide range of applications across various industries, and its corrosion resistance and strength make it ideal for many projects.
