Galvanized iron wire is an industrial product manufactured from low-carbon steel rod; it is widely used in construction, handicrafts, wire mesh weaving, and highway guardrails. Available in both hot-dip galvanized and cold-galvanized (electro-galvanized) varieties, the wire is produced through processes such as drawing, acid pickling for rust removal, high-temperature annealing, and galvanizing. Key characteristics include a zinc coating weight of up to 300 g/m², strong corrosion resistance, and good elasticity. Production requires strict control of acid mist emissions; operations must be suspended for remediation if emission limits are exceeded. The wire is primarily used to manufacture construction safety materials-such as chain-link mesh and plastering mesh-as well as various everyday consumer products.
It is manufactured from high-quality low-carbon steel rod. The product comes in two types-hot-dip galvanized wire and cold-galvanized (electro-galvanized) wire-and is processed through a series of steps including drawing, acid pickling for rust removal, high-temperature annealing, galvanizing, and cooling.
