Zinc Aluminum Alloy Wire

Zinc aluminum alloy wire is a new type of anti-corrosion material. It has the characteristics of strong adhesion, good wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. Compared with zinc wire and pure aluminum wire, it has stronger performance. Wanzhi Steel has many years of experience in the production of zinc-aluminium wire. In addition, we have a complete production line and production management system to ensure the quality of zinc aluminum alloy wire. If you are looking for this kind of metal wire for your project, you can contact us for more details.

Features

• Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: By perfectly combining the advantages of zinc and aluminum, this material demonstrates stable performance in both indoor and marine environments, boasting a service life 2 to 3 times longer than that of zinc-coated steel wire.
• Excellent Mechanical Properties: Characterized by high strength and superior ductility, it resists fracture and deformation even under significant tensile stress, making it ideal for applications involving twisting and winding.
• Low Melting Point and Ease of Processing: It can be processed—for instance, via cold drawing—into various forms such as flat or oval wires. With a relatively low melting point, it exhibits oxidation resistance at temperatures as high as 200°C, while maintaining excellent toughness at temperatures as low as -40°C.
• Good Electrical and Thermal Conductivity: Suitable for applications requiring electrical connectivity or heat dissipation, such as electronic components, heat sinks, and similar devices.
• High Cost-Effectiveness: Offering a superior cost-performance ratio compared to standard galvanized wire, it effectively reduces material costs without compromising performance. Furthermore, it is compatible with passivation and coating treatments; we also offer extensive customization options to meet specific requirements.

Production Process

Production Steps

1. Alloy Preparation

Firstly, aluminum ingots are placed in the crucible. Next, after the aluminum ingot is melted, add the zinc ingot in a certain proportion. Wait until both are melted and then stir well. Finally, add a degassing agent for degassing refining for 5~10 minutes.

2. Coarse Embryo Preparation

The coarse embryo preparation is carried out by a shock chain type horizontal continuous casting equipment, which uses the tension and relaxation of the drive chain to realize the stop-pull mechanism, and finally the horizontal continuous casting. The process is to add the alloy liquid to the continuous casting furnace and maintain it at the specified level and temperature. Then the ingot drawing system is activated to draw out the rough embryo. After passing the inspection, the rough ingot will go to the next process.

3. Drawing Process

Drawing is the final process of transforming zinc aluminum alloy into a specific size. First of all, the coarse embryo is added to the holding furnace for preheating. After a period of holding, they are drawn. Depending on the wire diameter, the number of pulls varies. For example, a wire with a finer wire diameter will be drawn more often.

Quality Inspection & Packaging

1. Quality Inspection

• Composition analysis: Use a spectrometer to detect the content of zinc, aluminum and other elements to ensure that they meet the standards (such as Zn-5%Al or Zn-10%Al).
• Mechanical properties: Test tensile strength, elongation, etc., to ensure that the wire meets the requirements of use.
• Surface quality: Check for defects such as cracks, burrs, oxide scale, etc. to ensure smoothness and uniformity.
• Diameter tolerance: Use a micrometer or laser diameter gauge to ensure that the wire diameter meets the specifications (such as ±0.02mm).
• Corrosion resistance: The Salt spray test evaluates the corrosion resistance of the coating or alloy.

2. Packaging Method

• Winding method: Use an I-shaped wheel or a spool to wind neatly to avoid twisting and deformation.
• Rust prevention: Apply anti-rust oil or vacuum packaging to prevent oxidation.
• Outer packaging: The inner layer is wrapped with moisture-proof paper or PE film, and the outer layer is reinforced with wooden boxes, iron barrels, or woven bags, and labels are affixed to indicate material, specifications, batches, and other information.

Precautions When Transporting and Storing Zinc Aluminum Alloy Wire

The correct way of transportation will not damage the wire. Proper storage methods can make the wire last longer. Next, Wanzhi Steel will show you how to transport and store metal wire.

1. Before shipping, make sure that the wire is packed tightly to prevent it from being damaged due to bumping in transit.
2. It is forbidden to ship steel wire in packages and conveyances with acids, alkalis, salts, etc. that corrode zinc.
3. For storage, it should be placed in a dry, ventilated warehouse free of corrosive substances.
4. When stored outdoors, do not let it get wet by rain.

5. Avoid heavy pressure, store flat or vertically to prevent deformation of the wire or surface damage.

6. Regular inspection. During long-term storage, check the surface condition regularly and re-treat with rust prevention if necessary.
