How to distinguish hot dip galvanized steel wire and electric galvanized steel wire?

Cold galvanizing, also called electric galvanizing, is the use of electrolytic equipment to remove oil, pickling, after the pipe fitting into the composition of zinc salt solution, and connected to the negative electrode of the electrolytic equipment. Wire factory on the opposite side of the pipe fittings placed zinc plate, connected to the positive electrode of the electrolytic equipment is connected to the power supply, the use of current from the positive electrode to the negative electrode will deposit a layer of zinc on the pipe fittings, cold plating pipe fittings is first processed after galvanized.

Cold galvanizing is in the plating tank through the current unidirectional zinc gradually plated on the metal appearance, the production speed is slow, uniform coating, thin thickness, usually only 3-15 microns, bright appearance, smooth, high aesthetics, poor corrosion resistance, generally a few months will rust. Hot dip galvanized coating is thicker, generally 30-60 microns, coating corrosion resistance is higher. Suitable for outdoor work of steel parts, such as highway fences, power towers, large size fasteners and other more “rough” workpiece long-term rust prevention.
Hot dip galvanized steel wire surface smooth, smooth, no cracks, joints, thorns, scars and corrosion, galvanized layer uniform, strong adhesion, corrosion resistance lasting, toughness and elasticity is excellent. The tensile strength should be between 900Mpa-2200Mpa (wire diameter Φ0.2mm-Φ4.4mm). The number of torsion (Φ0.5mm) in more than 20 times, repeated bending should be more than 13 times. The thickness of galvanizing is thin, usually only 3-15 microns, bright, smooth, beautiful appearance, poor corrosion resistance, generally a few months will rust.
