Product Details:

Galvanized Iron (GI) wire is a versatile material widely used in various applications due to its enhanced corrosion resistance and durability. The galvanization process involves coating low-carbon steel wire with zinc, which provides a protective barrier against environmental factors.

Key Specifications:

1. Material Composition:

   • Typically made from low-carbon steel grades such as Q195 or Q235. citeturn0search1

2. Types of Galvanization:

   • Hot-Dip Galvanized Wire: Involves immersing the steel wire into molten zinc, resulting in a thicker, more durable coating.
   • Electro-Galvanized Wire: Utilizes an electrochemical process to apply a thinner zinc layer, offering a smoother finish.

3. Wire Diameter (Gauge):

   • Available in a range from 0.1 mm to 7.6 mm, corresponding to gauge sizes 1 to 36. citeturn0search1

4. Tensile Strength:

   • Typically ranges between 350 to 550 MPa, ensuring adequate strength for various applications.     

5. Zinc Coating Thickness:

   • Varies depending on the galvanization method:
     • Hot-Dip Galvanized Wire: Zinc coating can reach up to 300 g/m², providing superior corrosion resistance.                           
     • Electro-Galvanized Wire: Typically has a thinner zinc layer, suitable for applications where a smooth surface is desired.

6. Elongation:

   • Generally falls between 20% to 30%, indicating good ductility. citeturn0search3

7. Surface Finish:

   • Hot-Dip Galvanized Wire often has a matte gray appearance due to the thicker zinc layer.
   • Electro-Galvanized Wire features a brighter, more uniform finish.

Common Applications:

• Binding and Baling: Used in construction and agriculture for tying and securing materials.
• Fencing: Serves as a core material for various types of fences, including barbed and chain-link.
• Wire Mesh Production: Utilized in creating welded wire mesh for industrial and commercial use.
• Armoring Cables: Provides additional protection for electrical cables.
