Galvanized iron wire is steel wire coated with a zinc layer through hot-dip or electro-galvanizing processes. This zinc coating acts as a sacrificial barrier, protecting the base metal from rust and corrosion in harsh environments. Typically made from low-carbon steel, it combines strength with exceptional durability, making it ideal for outdoor applications. The hot-dip method creates a thicker, more abrasion-resistant layer, while electro-galvanizing ensures precise, uniform coverage. Common uses include fencing, construction reinforcement, agricultural ties, and gabion baskets. Its adaptability stems from varying wire gauges (e.g., 0.5–4mm) and tensile strengths, catering to projects requiring flexibility, longevity, and cost-effectiveness. Resistant to moisture, UV rays, and chemicals, galvanized wire remains a staple in industries prioritizing long-term reliability and minimal maintenance.
