The wide range of applications of Galvanized Steel Wire
What is Galvanized Wire used for?
Galvanized wire is steel wire that has a protective coating, keeping it corrosion-free to increase durability and strength. Firstly, to galvanize steel you have to immerse it in a bath of molten zinc that subsequently adheres to the surface of the previously hard-drawn steel.
Low, medium, or high-carbon steel can be galvanized. Therefore, allowing the steel wire to be used to manufacture a wide variety of products in different industries.
