Oval Wire
The oval wire is a high-strength steel wire with an oval cross-section. Compared with round steel wire, oval steel wire has unique advantages in specific applications, such as increasing structural stability and improving stress distribution. It is widely used in agriculture and is widely used as fence wire for large livestock such as cattle and horses in South American countries such as Brazil, Argentina, Peru, or Chile. It is used as a support frame for papaya, eggplant, and tomatoes in the planting industry. Wanzhi Steel produces oval wires of the following specifications, and its zinc layer content and cross-sectional dimensions can be customized according to your special requirements. If you are interested, please consult professionals online for help.

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. It is usually made of high carbon steel, making it an ideal choice for many projects, especially for many applications in Uruguay, and Paraguay.
What is the difference between oval wire and galvanized wire
There are 7 main differences between them:
1). Shape
Galvanized wire maintains a regular round cross-section, while oval wire has an oval cross-section.
2). Zinc content of coating
The zinc content of oval wire is more precise, ranging from 35-180 g/m2, while Wanzhi Steel’s various galvanized wires have a zinc content of 10-500 g/m2. You can ask us to customize the zinc coating for you to meet your project requirements.
3). Mechanical properties
The oval shape of oval steel wire makes it more resistant to bending and twisting, and it is not easy to kink or break during use. Compared with galvanized steel wire, oval steel wire has higher toughness and elasticity.
However, thick-coated galvanized wire has higher corrosion resistance and cost-effectiveness than oval wire.
4). Surface
Oval steel wire has a smooth and flat surface, in contrast, galvanized steel wire has a slightly textured surface due to zinc coating.
5). 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.
6). Market Demand
Oval steel wire is in great demand in South American countries, where livestock and agricultural sectors drive its use. Galvanized wire is in demand all over the world, as it is used in reinforced concrete and frame structures, welded wire mesh sheets and rolls, woven gabions, wire mesh fencing, animal cages, etc.
7). Transportation packaging
Oval wire is usually packaged in 1000m rolls and 10 rolls in bundles. Galvanized wire is available in a variety of packages for a wide range of uses. For example, a roll of 50 kg is used for building lashing wire and a roll of up to 500 kg is used for further wire mesh manufacturing. Sometimes, it also comes in small rolls to suit machine production. It is also packaged in rolls, such as galvanized spool wire.

Production process-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 required weight according to needs and packaged in the standard way, with plastic inside and braid outside.
