Wanzhi Steel

Galvanized wire can be divided into hot-dipped galvanized wire and electro-galvanized wire considering the different galvanizing process. What’s the difference between them? Let’s review it together. 1. Making Method Hot-dip galvanized wire is immersed in the molten zinc solution at about 500°C to be galvanized. In this case, the zinc coating serves as a barrier layer on top of the steel to prevent corrosive substances from reaching the underlying steel or iron. While electro galvanized wire is galvanized through electroplating process. That is, running a current of electricity through a zinc solution with a zinc anode and steel conductor. This is the main difference between them.  2. Thickness of Zinc Due to the different galvanizing methods, their zinc thickness is different. That of the hot dipped galvanized wire is thicker, often more than 35 μm, or even as high as 275 μm. While electro galvanized wire has a thin zinc layer, say less than 15 μm. It is usually manufactured at a slow
