Galvanized iron wire / GI wire
Galvanized wire is applied in mesh weaving and highway fences making.
Materials: mild steel, annealed wire.
Wire diameter: 0.7mm - 4.5mm.
Elongation: commonly 20% - 30%.
Tensile strength: usually 350 - 550 MPa.
Zinc coated: Max 300g/m2.
Surface treatments: electro galvanized, hot-dip galvanized, zinc coating.
Types: electro galvanized wire, hot-dip galvanized wire, Galfan wire.
Features: good ductility, excellent elasticity, anti-corrosion.
Packing: Coils or spools, cartons or pallets. Inside with plastic cover and outside with hessian, or inside with plastic cover and outside with woven bag.
Applications:
- Used in mesh weaving, crafts making.
- Used as parts in communication devices.
- Used as tie wire in products packaging, construction.
