Standard for hardness of galvanized iron wire

Hardness is a commonly used property index in mechanical properties of metal materials. The iron wire factory introduces a fast and economical test method for hardness testing. However, for the hardness of metal materials, there is not a unified and clear definition including all test methods at home and abroad. In general, the hardness of a metal is often considered to be the resistance of the material to plastic deformation, scratches, wear, or cutting.

Large coil galvanized wire in the zinc immersion distance debugging, keep the original speed unchanged, according to t= KD to determine the zinc immersion time (1), where: t is the zinc immersion time is constant, take 4-7D is the diameter of steel wire mm, and then estimate the zinc immersion distance. By adjusting the zinc dip distance, the zinc dip time of steel wire of various specifications can be shortened by 5s on average. In this way, the zinc consumption per ton of steel wire decreases from 61kg to 59.4kg.

Hot dip galvanizing is in the hot melt zinc liquid dip plating, production speed, thick but uneven coating, the market allows the thickness of 45 microns, up to 300 microns above. It is dark in color, consumes more zinc metal, forms infiltration layer with base metal, and has good corrosion resistance. Hot dip galvanizing can be maintained for decades in outdoor environment. The protection of zinc coating on iron matrix has two principles: on the one hand, although zinc is more active and easy to oxidize than iron, but its oxide film is not as loose and compact as iron oxide. The dense oxide layer formed on the surface inhibits the further oxidation of zinc in the interior.

Especially after passivation of galvanized layer, the surface of the oxide layer is thicker and compact, itself has high oxidation resistance. On the other hand, when the surface of the galvanized layer is damaged, exposing the inner iron matrix, because zinc is more active than iron, zinc will bear the role of sacrificing zinc anode, zinc will be oxidized before iron, so as to protect the iron layer will not be damaged.
