Galvanization is the process of
dipping iron, steel and carbon rods in a zinc solution. Through galvanization,
these metal wires get more strength as well as safety and do have superior
quality as compared to other metal rods. These galvanized wires provides
excellent resistant to moisture and mechanical damage. They provide smooth and
bright surface finish.
Wires are now galvanized through 2
processes:
- Hot Dip Galvanized Wires, where coating is done through dipping of wire in hot zinc solutions. The main applications of these types of galvanized wires are in Trolleys, Bailing wires; Poultry mesh chain link fencing, stranded ropes, mesh wires, stay wires, baskets and telephone wires etc.
- Electro-Galvanized wires: In this, coating is done by using the method of electro-chemical process. These wires are mostly used in kitchenware and for household purpose as well.
Wires can also be coated from other
minerals and metals but they cannot give protection as much as zinc coating
provides because of the unique quality that zinc contains. Galvanized wires
thus, are also used in the area where corrosion is relatively high like salt
water, chemical and gas exposure, and other environmental factors like presence
of sulfur dioxide in air. Another main area of galvanized wire is for the
protection of high value paintings and pictures on the wall. Even mirrors and
other objects can also be protected that can fall and cause injury. Another
major use of galvanized wire is its use in constructional and building purpose.
Having the property of being strongest, rust free in all weather conditions and
durability; it is used as a supporting material to bind construction material.
Third major applicability of galvanized wire is protection. For its greater
strength, it is used as protective fences in homes, cages for animals and
suspension bridges.
