What is Galvanized Steel Wire? Features & Uses
Galvanized steel wire is a versatile material coated with zinc to enhance durability and corrosion resistance. Widely used in construction, agriculture, and industrial applications, it outperforms regular carbon steel wire in harsh environments. The zinc layer acts as a sacrificial barrier, protecting the base metal from rust.
Unlike alloy steel wire which relies on metallic additives for strength, galvanized wire derives its advantages from surface treatment. Aluminum zinc plated steel wire offers superior heat resistance but at higher costs, while basic carbon steel wire requires additional maintenance.
Over 60% of wire mesh products utilize galvanized steel wire for its balance of strength and weather resistance. Common uses include:
Beyond wire mesh, galvanized steel wire serves critical functions in:
When choosing between galvanized steel wire, aluminum zinc plated steel wire, or alloy steel wire, consider environmental exposure, load requirements, and project budget. For most outdoor applications, galvanized options provide optimal cost-performance ratio.
