Galvanized steel wire comes in hot dipped or electro galvanized coating, and in low or high tensile. The galvanization process adds a layer of zinc iron alloys on the surface of a steel wire, making it more resistant to corrosion. Depending on diameter and amount of carbon, this product can be used for anything from safety pins to fencing. Like bright wire, galvanized has seemingly endless purposes for our customers.

Galvanization involves coating the steel wire with a layer of zinc, which helps protect the underlying steel from rust and corrosion. This process involves immersing the steel wire in a bath of molten zinc or applying a zinc coating through electroplating.

The zinc coating acts as a sacrificial anode, meaning that it corrodes preferentially to the steel when exposed to environmental elements like moisture and oxygen. As a result, the zinc layer prevents the underlying steel from coming into direct contact with corrosive agents, thereby extending the lifespan of the wire.

Galvanized steel wire is commonly used in various applications where corrosion resistance is crucial, such as fencing, construction, agricultural applications, and other outdoor or harsh environments.
