Oval Wire
The oval wire is a high-strength steel wire with an oval cross-section. Compared with round steel wire, it has unique advantages, such as increased structural stability and improved stress distribution. Therefore, it is widely used in fence wires for large livestock such as cattle and horses in agriculture and support frames in planting. Wanzhi Steel stocks a large number of commonly used specifications of galvanized oval wires and PVC coated oval wires. The sizes can be customized. Welcome to contact us.

What is oval wire? Why choose it?
It is a high-tensile steel wire with a silvery-white surface and galvanized. Therefore, it can also be called Galvanized Oval Wire. The cross-section is round. Compared with round steel wire of the same diameter, oval steel wire is stronger, harder, and more fatigue-resistant. It is also easier to handle and operate than round steel wire. In addition to low carbon steel, it can also be made of high-carbon steel, making it an ideal choice for many projects, especially for many uses in Uruguay and Paraguay.

Application
Oval wire has good toughness and elasticity, a bright and clean surface, and extremely high tensile strength. Its main applications are as follows:
1. Agricultural fences, pasture fences, courtyard fences.
2. Climbing supports for crops such as vineyards, tomatoes, beans, and loofahs.
3. Power grid support.
4. Gardening structures. Flower support wires are used to decorate scenes and beautify the environment.
5. Building structures. Oval barbed wire can be used to defend against invasion.
6. Aquaculture, protection, etc.

Price
Its price is mainly determined by the material grade, zinc layer, diameter, and purchase volume.
Price reference
1. Ordinary galvanized: 0.21~0.42 USD/meter Single-strand oval core wire, basic rust prevention.
2. Thickened hot-dip galvanized: 0.42~0.83 USD/meter Zinc layer ≥60μm, high corrosion resistance.
3. PVC coated: 0.56~1.11 USD/meter Optional colors (green/black), stronger weather resistance.
4. Military/prison grade: 1.11~2.08 USD/meter High-strength core wire + dense barb spacing.

What is the difference between oval wire and galvanized wire
Usually oval wire is galvanized to prevent corrosion, but there are also cases where it is not galvanized. Galvanized wire refers to steel wire with a zinc layer on the surface.
1). Shape
Galvanized wire maintains a regular round cross-section, while oval wire has an oval cross-section.
2). Mechanical properties
Elliptical steel wire is more resistant to bending and twisting, not easy to kink or break, and has higher toughness and elasticity than galvanized steel wire. Thick galvanized wire has higher corrosion resistance and cost-effectiveness than oval wire.
3). Use
Oval steel wire is very suitable for agricultural fencing due to its elasticity, and its zinc coating can be customized according to needs. Galvanized wire is economical, available in more sizes and specifications, and has a relatively wider range of uses.

4). Market Demand
Oval wire is in great demand in livestock and agriculture in South America, such as Brazil, Argentina, Peru, and Chile. While GI wire is popular all over the world for use in reinforced concrete and frame structures, welded wire mesh sheets and rolls, woven gabions, etc.
5). Transportation packaging
Oval wire is usually available in 1000m rolls. GI wire is available in different packages. For example, 50kg rolls are used for building lashing wire, but also 500kg rolls, small rolls or reels, such as GI spool wire.

How is oval wire made?
The production process of elliptical steel wire usually includes the following steps:
1. Raw material selection: Select high-quality steel wire rods as raw material.
2. Drawing and forming: The steel is drawn into an elliptical cross-section by a drawing machine.
3. Heat treatment: The drawn elliptical steel wire is heat treated to improve its strength and toughness.
4. Surface treatment: The surface is galvanized and optionally coated to improve its corrosion resistance and aesthetics.To form high tensile galvanized steel wire.
5. Cutting: After rolling, it is cut into the required weight according to needs and packaged in the standard way, with plastic inside and braid outside.
