What Is Galvanized Wire?
Galvanized steel wire refers to steel wire with a layer of zinc coating on its surface, which protects the wire from corrosion.
There are two galvanizing methods: one is hot-dip galvanizing by immersing the steel wire in a molten zinc bath, and the other is electroplating.
Due to its durability and bright, smooth surface, galvanized iron wire can be processed into straight-cut wire, U-shaped binding wire, looped baling wire, welded mesh, etc., for use in packaging, binding, and fencing.

Galvanized Wire Properties
1. Smooth and even surface
Galvanized iron wire improves the unevenness of steel wire, resulting in a uniform and smooth zinc layer. It offers excellent decorative properties when used for orchard and garden fencing.
2. Strong and wear-resistant
Low-carbon steel wire is prone to rust and wear, while galvanized wire significantly improves mechanical properties and tensile strength, reaching up to 2200MPa.
3. Good toughness and elasticity
Galvanized iron wire is drawn from low-carbon steel. Therefore, it has excellent toughness and can be bent and twisted freely. It is also a high-quality raw material for springs.

4. Excellent rust resistance and long service life
Hot-dip galvanized wire, in particular, benefits from its excellent corrosion resistance, allowing it to remain uncorroded for decades in outdoor, soil, rainforest, and other humid environments.
5. Affordable price
It is a cost-effective alternative to stainless steel wire, while possessing its superior performance, making it more economical. It is the preferred choice for B2B customers such as buyers and distributors.
Galvanized Iron Wire Uses
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.
Classification By Production Process
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.
Hot Dipped Galvanized Wire
Electro Galvanized Wire
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 on 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.
