Type One: Electro Galvanized iron Wire
Electro galvanized wire is made of mild steel or carbon steel wire rod through wire drawing, heating and galvanizing process.
Technical Information of Electro Galvanized Iron Wire:
Specification: Wire diameter: 5.5mm-0.2mm
Zinc Rate: 7g-18g/m2
Tensile strength: 30kg-70kg/mm2
Elongation rate: 10%-25%
Type Two: Hot-dipped Galvanized wire
Zinc coated: 45g/m2.min.
Tensile strength:35-70kg/mm2
Weight/coil: 0.1kg-800kg/coil
Features: Soft wire, strong, rust-resisting, good tenacity.
Packing: Plastic inside and woven bag outside or hessian cloth outside.
