What is Coated High Tensile Wire?

As mentioned above, in order to increase the durability of high tensile wire, the coating process is usually adopted, and coated high-strength steel wire is a high-tension steel wire with coating on the surface to improve its corrosion resistance and wear resistance. Common coating types include galvanized coating, zinc-aluminum alloy coating, PVC coating, etc.

 

In addition, high-strength and high-quality carbon structural steel wire materials such as SWRM52A are also often used to manufacture various steel wires, steel strands, etc. It has good strength and toughness, as well as excellent weldability and machinability. Its chemical composition mainly includes C (0.49%~0.56%), S (0.15%~0.35%), Mg (0.30%~0.60%), and a small amount of phosphorus and sulfur (both not exceeding 0.03%).

 

What is the high tensile wire?

High-strength steel wire is made by drawing carbon steel or alloy steel. It contains alloy elements such as Fe, C, Si, Mn, etc. It has excellent strength and toughness and can withstand large tensile forces. This kind of steel wire is usually used in application scenarios that require high strength and durability. Its production steps usually also involve heat treatment or coating processes to enhance its strength and durability. It has advantages in working in high-strength and high-temperature environments, such as automobile engine compartments, boilers, etc.

Characteristics of Coated High Tensile Wire

1. High strength: Coated high-strength steel wire has excellent tensile strength and yield strength, which can meet the strength requirements of various structures.

2. Lightweight: Despite its high strength, high-strength steel wire is relatively light, which is convenient for handling, transportation and installation, especially in large projects.

3. Good toughness: Even under extreme conditions, the steel wire can maintain sufficient toughness and is not easy to break.

4. Corrosion resistance: The coating can effectively isolate the steel wire from direct contact with the environment and extend its service life.

5. Wear resistance: Some coatings can also provide additional wear resistance, reducing the wear of the steel wire during use.

Where is coated high tensile wire used?

1. Bridge cables and slings.

2. Building structure support and suspension.

3. Power transmission conductors, ground wires, overhead wires.

4. Agricultural fences and livestock fences.

5. Support drilling equipment, fix pipelines, and create temporary or permanent structures.

6. Vehicle and aircraft parts.

How many coating types of Coated High Tensile Wire?

1. Hot-dip galvanized coating

A uniform zinc layer is formed on the surface of the steel wire through the hot-dip galvanizing process, providing excellent corrosion resistance.

2. Zinc-aluminum alloy coating

Combining the advantages of zinc and aluminum, it has higher corrosion resistance and weather resistance, suitable for harsh environments.

3. Organic coating

Such as epoxy resin, polyurethane, etc., provides additional wear resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, and aesthetics.

4. PVC coating/polyethylene coating

Through plasticized coating, it can not only provide a colorful appearance, but also make it resistant to sunlight, long-lasting and non-fading, and decorative.

Common Colors And Wire Gauges

1. Common Colors

Common colors on the market include white coated high tensile wire, black coated high tensile wire, and green. For example, 12.5 gauge white safety coated high tensile horse fence wire is lightweight but can withstand animal impacts. It will not cause scratches to livestock like barbed wire, and can also withstand extreme temperature conditions. In addition, poly fences also often use this type of color and material.

2. Common Gauges

It is sometimes used as high tensile steel cable and high-tensile wire rope. Commonly used ones are 10 gauge, 14 gauge high tensile wire, 4mm high tensile galvanised wire, 3mm high tensile wire, and the 12.5 gauge mentioned above.

High Tensile Wire vs. Low Strength Steel Wire

1. First of all, their processes are different, and the production of low-strength steel wire is relatively uncomplicated.

2. Secondly, the hardness and strength of high-strength steel wire are higher than those of low-strength steel wire, but its ductility and plasticity are not as good as those of low-strength steel wire.

3. In addition, in terms of use, high-strength steel wire is suitable for bridges, railways, electricity, cableways, and other fields, while low-strength steel wire is used in occasions with low strength requirements, such as fences, protective nets, agriculture, and light industry.

4. Finally, in terms of price, the price of high-strength steel wire is higher than that of low-strength steel wire.

What is coated high tensile steel wire made of?

Its base material is the carbon Steel Wire Rod. After stabilization, pickling, copper plating, or phosphating, it can be made into carbon steel with different carbon contents. It can also be made into alloy steel after adding other elements. Then it is hot rolled, cold drawn, and made into high-strength steel wire. Then it is galvanized or plastic coated to form coated high-strength steel wire, such as poly coated high tensile wire, vinyl coated high tensile wire, or Galvanized high tensile wire. Zinc Aluminum Alloy high tensile wire.

Is high carbon steel wire a high strength steel wire?

No, they are different in many ways, which can be summarized as follows:

Chemical composition

1. High carbon steel wire usually contains more than 0.6% carbon, while the carbon content of 80 steel reaches 0.7%~0.9%. The high carbon content gives it higher hardness and strength.

2. High-strength steel wire is not characterized by high carbon content. Instead, it may use an alloying treatment or process to improve strength.

Mechanical properties

1. High carbon steel wire has high hardness, high elastic limit, and fatigue limit after heat treatment or cold drawing, but its welding performance and cold plasticity are poor, and it is easy to break and has high brittleness.

2. High strength steel wire has excellent mechanical properties, including high strength, high toughness, and good wear resistance.

Application areas

1. High carbon steel wire is used to make tools, knives, springs, bearings, and other parts that need to withstand high stress and wear.

2. High strength steel wire is used to make frames, doors, chassis, springs, strengthen building structures, bridges, fences, etc.

Manufacturing Process

1. High carbon steel wire is processed by hot rolling, cold drawing, heat treatment, and other processes.

2. High strength steel wire includes multiple steps such as alloying, heat treatment, special drawing, etc., which is relatively complicated.
