What Is Galvanized Wire?
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 can be initially processed into straight-cut wire, U-shaped binding wire, construction binding wire, and baling wire.

Featured Products
12 Gauge Gi Wire: Thick wire diameter, high tensile strength, suitable for heavy-duty and large-scale applications with high load-bearing requirements.
14 Gauge Gi Wire: Combines strength and flexibility, a common specification for fencing, wire mesh, and binding.
16 Gauge Gi Wire: Thinner and more flexible, suitable for lightweight fencing, garden binding, and fine wire mesh.

Galvanized Wire Properties
1. Flat and Smooth Surface
The galvanized wire improves the unevenness of the wire. The zinc layer can cover up the fine lines on the wire. It
will be used for the garden fence will look particularly beautiful.
2. High Resistance to Damage
The bare steel wire can easily be scratched or otherwise damaged, which weakens the wire’s strength. However, the
zinc layer of the GI wire provides hard protection.
3. Good Toughness and Flexibility
It is a kind of iron wire made by drawing using low-carbon steel. Therefore, its toughness is excellent. Formed galvanized wire products can be bent and folded. It is also very good to use this material to make springs.
4. Fire Resistant
GI iron wire is also common in industrial applications where there is a risk of fire. It is an indisputable fact that it remains strong in most fires.
5. Low Cost
It is often a more affordable option than other types of wire products, such as PVC-Coated Wire. GI wire offers price advantages along with strong, long-lasting, and durable properties.
6. Long life span
This is one of the reasons why many people are willing to buy it. It can last up to 20 years in harsh or high-humidity environments. It can last up to 50 years or longer in normal environments.

Galvanized Iron Wire Uses
Galvanized iron wire is usually used as Binding Wire, fencing wire, etc. It is also used for supporting climbing plants, making crafts, etc. The wide applications also make the galvanized iron wire a promising investment project.
1. Fencing & Screen
GI wire is an ideal choice for making fences around houses, playgrounds, expressways, bridges, etc, which can secure your property. The forms include Razor Wire and chain link fences on the market. Also, you can find fine filtration cloth or screens, such as insect screens.
2. Supporting & Binding
GI steel wire has excellent strength, which makes it a good binding material so it is an ideal material for making gabions or slope stabilization.
3. Agriculture & Animal Husbandry
In the agricultural industry, galvanized steel wire can support climbing plants, such as tomatoes, grapes, etc. It is known as garden wire. Besides that, GI wire is an ideal material for making cages or fencing for animals.
4. Other Industry
Galvanized iron wire also finds popular application in wire for telecom cable, making wire nails, ropes, tie wire or binding wire, and other daily uses.

Types of Galvanized Steel Wire
According to the galvanizing process, GI wires are divided into HDP Wire and cold galvanized wire ( Electro-Galvanized Steel Wire ).
1. Hot Dipped Galvanized Wire
It is processed through a hot-dipped zinc bath process. That is, the wire is immersed in hot zinc molten so that the surface is fully covered with a zinc-coating layer. The hot-dip GI wire has excellent corrosion resistance, flexibility, and softness.
Manufacturing process: Steel rod coil – pre-treatment – wire drawing – rust removing – acid washing – thermal zinc coating – annealing – (wire re-drawing) -wire coiling – quality control – packaging.
2. Electro Galvanized Wire
The difference between hot-dipped and electro-galvanized wire is the galvanizing process. The latter uses the principle of electrolysis to paint a thin layer of zinc to the surface of steel wire. It makes the wire surface uniform and shiny.
Production process: Steel rod coil – pre-treatment – wire drawing ( wire redrawing) – rust removing – acid washing – cold galvanizing – wire coiling -quality control – packaging.

How to Choose the Gauges of Galvanized Wire?
It depends on the intended use. If it’s used for fencing large, heavy animals, a strong 12-gauge or thicker 9-gauge wire is recommended. If it’s for gardening, 16-gauge wire is more ideal.

Galvanized Wire Price
When looking for galvanized wire for sale, it is inevitable to ask the price of GI wire. You can find the market price range from 400-1,500 USD. Its price will be different due to the diameter, thickness of zinc-coating, galvanizing methods, suppliers, policy, etc.
Commonly, thick galvanized wire and thin wire are of different prices. The electro-galvanized wires will be cheaper than the hot-dip galvanized wires.
