What do different specifications of galvanized wire look like!
Galvanized wire is a widely used metal product, made of high-quality low-carbon steel wire coated with a zinc layer through hot-dip galvanizing or electroplating processes. The zinc layer can effectively enhance the corrosion and rust resistance of steel wire, making it suitable for long-term use in harsh environments. The core advantage of galvanized wire lies in its diverse specifications, mainly distinguished by wire diameter, which directly determines its strength, flexibility, and applicable scenarios.
Fine diameter galvanized wire (usually 0.1-0.8mm in diameter) combines high flexibility and softness, and is widely used in agriculture, wire mesh manufacturing, and the electronics industry. In agriculture, 0.3-0.5mm fine diameter galvanized wire is commonly used in greenhouses to bind the stems and support frames of delicate crops such as tomatoes, cucumbers, grapes, etc., which not only fix the plants but also avoid damage, ensuring the upright growth and ventilation of crops; In the field of wire mesh manufacturing, it is a key material for making small aperture (usually less than 1mm) insect proof nets, which can be used for doors and windows in residential and agricultural buildings. It can prevent mosquitoes and insects without affecting ventilation; The electronics industry uses 0.1-0.2mm ultra-fine galvanized wire as the internal wiring for small electronic components and equipment, ensuring stable operation of the equipment with good conductivity and corrosion resistance.
Medium diameter galvanized wire (wire diameter 0.9-2.5mm) achieves a balance between strength and flexibility, mainly used in construction, packaging, and shelf manufacturing. During construction, 1.2-2.0mm medium diameter galvanized wire is used to tie steel bars. In the construction of reinforced concrete structures such as beams, columns, and floors, the steel bars can be firmly fixed to ensure that the steel skeleton does not deform during concrete pouring, thereby improving the stability and load-bearing capacity of the building structure; In the field of packaging, 1.5-2.5mm steel wire of this type is an ideal choice for bundling heavy goods such as steel pipes and wooden boards, which can prevent the goods from shifting and scattering during transportation; In addition, it can also produce industrial and commercial wire baskets and shelves. Wire baskets are used to store parts and tools in factory workshops, while shelves are suitable for displaying and storing goods in supermarkets and warehouses.
Coarse diameter galvanized wire (wire diameter exceeding 2.5mm) is characterized by high strength and durability, and is commonly used in heavy-duty engineering and fence construction. In heavy engineering, 3.0-6.0mm thick galvanized wire can be used to make steel wire ropes and cables. These ropes have high tensile strength and are widely used in lifting equipment such as cranes and elevators, for lifting heavy objects such as machinery, containers, and building materials. At the same time, they play a supporting and stabilizing role in bridge and tunnel construction; In terms of fence construction, 4.0-8.0mm thick galvanized wire is the core material of high security fences, which can be woven into coarse nets or used as fence posts and crossbars. It is suitable for peripheral protection of prisons, military bases, and important industrial facilities, with anti climbing and anti destructive capabilities, and can effectively prevent illegal intrusion; In agriculture, it can also build large livestock fences, such as in cattle and sheep farms, to resist the impact of large livestock and achieve livestock enclosure and protection against natural enemies.
