Galvanized Wire

Are galvanized iron wire and galvanized steel wire the same product?

Galvanized iron wire and galvanized steel wire are two products with carbon content,

The difference in carbon content:

Among them, the carbon content of galvanized steel wire (medium and high carbon steel wire) is 0.40-0.80%, and the strength of galvanized steel wire is relatively high. The manganese phosphating coated steel wire rope is made of high carbon steel wire.

Galvanized iron wire (galvanized wire) low-carbon steel wire with a carbon content of 0.05-0.25%, low strength (that is, relatively soft), commonly known as iron wire, can be used as modified wire, cut wire, tied wire, etc.

The difference in appearance:

The surface of galvanized steel wire is smooth, bright and clean, without cracks, knots, burrs, scars and rust. The galvanized layer is uniform, strong adhesion, durable corrosion resistance, excellent toughness and elasticity. The tensile strength should be between 900Mpa-2200Mpa (wire diameter Φ0.2mm-Φ4.4mm). The number of twists (Φ0.5mm) should be more than 20 times, and the number of repeated bending should be more than 13 times.

Galvanized iron wire has a thick galvanized zinc layer, but the zinc layer is not very uniform, so sometimes there are small zinc bumps, the color is not as bright as electroplating, the corrosion resistance is stronger than electroplating, and the relative cost is also a little higher.

What is the difference between galvanized iron wire and ordinary iron wire? Galvanized iron wire refers to the selection of high-quality low-carbon steel, which is processed through drawing forming, pickling and derusting, high-temperature annealing, hot-dip galvanizing, cooling and other processes. Some galvanized wire products are made of iron wire galvanized . Galvanized wire is divided into hot-dip galvanized wire and cold-dip galvanized wire (electro-galvanized wire). Hot-dip galvanizing has better protection than cold-dip galvanizing.

Binding wire we produced has better shining surface and the good hardness. The wire diameter ranges from 0.5mm to 5.0mm, usually goes in 0.5kg-1000kg per coil. After years of experimenting, we’ve improved the coating zinc quantity to 25g/m2, which is very high comparing with other companies in the market, which leads to better corrosion and oxidation resistance.

Application Area 

Galvanized wire is widely used in various fields such as construction, handicrafts, weaving wire mesh, highway guardrails, product packaging and daily civilian use.
