Galvanized wire is divided into hot galvanized wire and cold galvanized wire (electro-galvanized wire). Hot dip galvanizing is dip-plating in molten zinc, which has fast production speed and uneven coating thickness. The minimum thickness allowed by the market is 45 microns, and the maximum thickness can reach more than 300 microns. It is dark in color, consumes a lot of zinc metal, forms an infiltration layer with the base metal, and has good corrosion resistance. Hot dip galvanizing can last for decades in outdoor environment.
