Galvanized Iron Wire: The Rust-Proof Armor for Metals

Hot-Dip Galvanized Iron Wire: It adopts the "hot-dip plating" process. The derusted iron wire is immersed in molten zinc liquid (at a temperature of approximately 440-460℃), so that a uniform zinc coating adheres to the surface of the iron wire. The thickness of the zinc coating is usually 50-100μm, with strong adhesion and excellent corrosion resistance. Its surface presents a matte silver-gray color, with a rough and granular touch. Due to its outstanding protective performance, hot-dip galvanized iron wire is mostly used in outdoor long-term exposure scenarios, such as agricultural greenhouse frames, highway guardrail nets, power tower binding, outdoor clothes drying racks, etc.

Electro-Galvanized Iron Wire: It uses the principle of "electrolytic deposition". At room temperature, the iron wire is placed in an electrolyte solution containing zinc ions, and an electric current is applied to make the zinc ions precipitate on the surface of the iron wire, forming a zinc coating. The thickness of the zinc coating is relatively thin, generally 5-20μm, with a smooth and bright surface showing a silvery-white color. It has a more exquisite appearance but weaker corrosion resistance than hot-dip galvanized iron wire. Electro-galvanized iron wire is more suitable for indoor dry environments or scenarios with higher requirements for appearance, such as handicraft production, food baskets, stationery binding, indoor decorative nets, etc.

Agricultural Field: It is used as the supporting wire for greenhouse frames to resist outdoor wind and rain corrosion; woven into protective nets for bird prevention in orchards and farmland fencing to prevent damage to crops by poultry or wild animals; it can also be made into seedling supports and crop traction ropes to assist agricultural production.

Construction and Municipal Field: It is used as tie bars during wall masonry to enhance the stability of the wall; woven into electric welding nets and mesh cloths as reinforcing materials for wall plastering to prevent wall cracking; in municipal engineering, it is used for road isolation guardrails and park green space fencing, taking into account both protection and durability.

Transportation and Logistics Field: It is made into container binding nets and cargo fixing nets to fix goods during transportation and avoid damage caused by shaking; the protective nets on both sides of highways and railways also mostly use hot-dip galvanized iron wire to resist harsh outdoor environments and ensure traffic safety.

Daily Life Field: From household clothes drying racks, storage baskets and anti-theft windows to supermarket shelf layer nets, express packaging steel wires, and even woven shapes in handicrafts, galvanized iron wire integrates into life in various forms, being both practical and durable.

Innovation of Environmental Protection Processes: The traditional pickling process is prone to producing wastewater pollution. Nowadays, more enterprises adopt acid-free derusting technologies (such as mechanical derusting and laser derusting) to reduce pollutant emissions; in the field of electro-galvanizing, low-chromium or chromium-free passivation processes are promoted to reduce heavy metal pollution, in line with the concept of green production.

Upgrading of Product Performance: High-corrosion-resistant galvanized iron wire is developed. By optimizing the composition of the zinc coating (such as zinc-aluminum alloy coating) and increasing the thickness of the zinc coating, the rust-proof ability is further improved to meet the needs of highly corrosive environments such as marine engineering and chemical industrial parks; at the same time, ultra-fine galvanized iron wire and high-strength galvanized iron wire are developed to adapt to the segmented needs of precision manufacturing, high-end equipment and other fields.

Expansion of Application Scenarios: Combined with the development of the new energy industry, galvanized iron wire is used for the fixing of photovoltaic power station brackets and the protective nets of energy storage equipment; in the rural revitalization, it has also become a preferred material for rural fencing and characteristic homestay decoration, taking into account both practicality and aesthetics.
