What are the maintenance methods of galvanizing wire?

Galvanizing wire is a process of plating metal surfaces with zinc, which can prevent metal oxidation, corrosion and rust. However, even after electrogalvanizing, zinc wire still needs proper maintenance to extend its service life. The following are some maintenance methods of electric galvanized wire:
1. Regular cleaning: Use water and neutral detergent to remove impurities such as dust, dirt and grease by gently scrubbing or wiping the surface of zinc wire. Do not use acidic, alkaline or abrasive cleaners to avoid damaging the zinc layer.
2. Prevent moisture: Avoid exposing the electrogalvanized wire to a long-term wet environment, because moisture will accelerate the oxidation process of the metal. If rain or water is spilled on the zinc wire, it should be dried in time.
3. Avoid chemical contact: zinc wire to avoid contact with strong acids, alkali and other chemicals, so as not to corrode the zinc layer. If sputtering occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water and consult a professional for treatment.

4. Coating protective agent: Protective agent, such as varnish or anti-rust wax, can be coated on the surface of zinc wire to isolate air and moisture and slow down the oxidation rate of zinc layer.
5. Regular inspection: Check the surface of the zinc wire regularly, paying special attention to whether there are signs of damage, corrosion or rust. If the problem is found, the damaged part should be repaired or replaced in time to avoid further corrosion expansion.
6. Maintenance of insulation: If the electrogalvanized wire is used as an insulating material for electrical equipment, the integrity of the insulation layer should be checked regularly and kept dry and clean to ensure the insulation effect.
7. Avoid mechanical damage: In the use, storage and handling process, should avoid electric galvanized wire and sharp objects collision or friction, so as not to destroy the protective effect of the zinc layer.
8. Proper storage: Store electrogalvanized wire in a dry, ventilated place, away from moisture and chemicals. Zinc wire can be packed in plastic bags or airtight containers to protect it from air and moisture.
9. Regular application of grease: Appropriate amount of mechanical grease can be regularly applied on the surface of zinc wire to increase the protective effect of zinc layer and reduce friction and wear.
10. Pay attention to the use of the environment: avoid exposing the electrogalvanized wire to high temperature or acid and alkali corrosive environment, so as not to cause damage to the zinc layer.
