Galvanized steel wire is steel wire coated with a zinc layer, which can protect the steel wire from rust and corrosion. Zinc can be applied using a method in which the wire is dipped into a molten bath of zinc or it can be electroplated on the surface. Due to its durability and smooth finish, it is suitable for many applications.

1. How Does GI Wire Made? What is the process of galvanized wire

The production is simple.

1. Wanzhi Steel uses steel rods as raw materials.

2. Then the first step is to clean or pickle the wire rods to remove the oxides and impurities on the surface.

3. After that, the descaled wire rods will go through wire drawing machines to make wires of the required size. These wires are often referred to as “black wires”.

4. After being pickled and annealed, the wire will be galvanized, including hot-dipped galvanizing and electro-galvanizing.

5. Then they will be rolled up into coils. You can package them up for sale after quality control.

2. What Is Quality Galvanized Iron Wire?

1. Firstly, the wire surface should be smooth without sagging, dripping, slags, or other obvious defects. For example, the zinc leakage area should be less than 0.5 mm; Also, no more than 3 leakage spots per square centimeter.
2. Secondly, the zinc layer should be uniform and it should be firmly bonded to the base metal, which will not fall off or bulge through the hammer test.
3. Thirdly, the diameter tolerance should be within a reasonable range.

3. Can Galvanized Wire be Used Outside?

One of the most important properties of GI is its ability to resist rust. Therefore, it is well suited for outdoor use, such as the common outdoor fences. In the case of ungalvanized wire, for example, constant rain and wet weather can cause it to corrode quickly. Unlike ungalvanized wire, however, it can adapt to harsh weather conditions. It holds up well even in wet and salt-laden conditions.
