What’s the difference between hot dip galvanized wire and electric galvanized wire?

Hot dip galvanized wire is used in carbon structural steel, which is processed by drawing and hot dip galvanized. It is widely used in the manufacture of wire mesh, highway guardrail and construction projects. Electro galvanized wire is a kind of metal conforming material made of low carbon steel as core wire by wire drawing and electro galvanized process. Mainly used in wire mesh, highway guardrail and construction projects.

Low and medium carbon steel wire is used as raw material, with good surface gloss, uniform zinc layer, strong adhesion, corrosion resistance and so on. Available: diameter 1.60mm-4mm (16#-33#) cold plating wire; Diameter 6.40mm-0.81mm(8#-21#) black iron wire, changed wire. It is mainly used in communication equipment, medical equipment, weaving net, brush, steel cable, filter, high-pressure pipe, construction, crafts and other industries.

galvanized wire

Its wire diameter specifications include: 8#-24#, with thick coating, corrosion resistance, strong coating and so on. And according to the special needs of users, according to industry standards to provide various specifications of galvanized wire. Low carbon steel wire is called galvanized iron wire after drawing and galvanized, so galvanized wire products have certain characteristics. In order to better let galvanized wire play an effect, in the process of galvanized wire, generally according to customer needs to control the thickness of galvanized wire zinc layer, so that galvanized wire can meet the needs of customers.

There are three methods to detect the thickness of zinc layer of galvanized wire: weighing method, cross section microscopy method and magnetic method, among which the first two experiments will cause certain damage to galvanized wire, including the length of galvanized wire and the reduction of dosage. The general detection of galvanized wire galvanized layer is detected by magnetic method, which is also a more intuitive and convenient method. The standard of galvanized layer thickness is related to the wire diameter of galvanized wire. The larger the wire diameter of galvanized wire, the thicker the galvanized layer is. It is the thickness of galvanized layer and cast iron after centrifugal separation.

The methods to control the thickness of galvanizing are as follows: you can slow down the lifting speed of the workpiece, control the time of galvanizing as far as possible, add the appropriate amount of thinning alloy, reduce the thickness, and improve the temperature of hot-dip galvanizing. But consider the zinc pot, iron pot should not exceed 480 degrees, ceramic pot can be 530 degrees, which can reduce the time of zinc immersion.
