What Is Galvanized Steel Wire

Galvanized steel wire is made by drawing high-quality carbon structural steel such as 45#, 65#, 70#, and then galvanizing (electro-galvanizing or hot-dip galvanizing).

Galvanized steel wire is a carbon steel wire that is galvanized on the surface by hot-dip or electroplating. Its performance is the same as that of straightening and tempering steel wire. It can be used as unbonded prestressed tendons, but at least 200-300g zinc per square meter area should be plated. It is often used as a parallel steel wire cable for cable-stayed bridges (in addition, flexible cable sleeves are also used as outer protection).
