Range of Applications of Galvanized Steel Wire

What is Galvanized Wire used for?

Galvanized wire is steel wire that has been applied a protective coating, keeping it corrosion-free for even greater durability and strength. To galvanize is to immerse steel wire in a bath of molten zinc that thus adheres to the surface of the previously hard drawn steel.

Low, medium or high carbon steel can be used, and so galvanized wire can be fit for the manufacturing of a wide variety of products in different industries.

What are some of the benefits of Galvanized Wire?

Galvanized steel wire stands out for its shiny and smooth surface, free of scratches, lumps or imperfections; these are some its different qualities and benefits:

• More affordable than stainless steel
• Its main benefit is protecting wire from corrosion and rust, thus extending the useful life of steel
• Lower maintenance cost
• High weatherability and resistance to heat and humidity
• Even, aesthetically pleasing shiny coating
