Is galvanized wire the same as stainless steel wire?

Is galvanized wire the same as stainless steel wire?

Answer:

Stainless steel wire drawing is a metal processing (stainless steel) process. It is the most popular surface treatment technology in the stainless steel and aluminum products industry. It is the drawing effect of stainless steel and aluminum products. Therefore, galvanized wire and stainless steel wire are two different products.
Galvanized wire is divided into two types of hot galvanized and cold galvanized, galvanized color is dark, more zinc consumption, and the formation of the base metal infiltration layer, corrosion resistance is good, outdoor environment hot galvanizing can keep for decades. Cold galvanized production speed is slow, coating evenly, the thickness is thin, usually only 3-15 microns, shiny appearance, poor corrosion resistance, corrosion will generally be a few months.
Stainless steel material refers to air, steam, water and other weak corrosive medium and acid, alkali, salt and other chemical corrosive medium corrosion of steel, also known as stainless acid resistant steel. In practical application, the steel which is often corroded by weak corrosive medium is called stainless steel, and the steel which is resistant to chemical medium is called acid resisting steel. And galvanized wire has good toughness and elasticity, the highest amount of zinc can reach 300 grams / square meter. With zinc coating thickness, corrosion resistance and other characteristics. Products are widely used in construction, handicrafts, the preparation of wire mesh, highway guardrail, product packaging and daily civilian and other fields.
