What is the difference between galvanized wire and low carbon steel wire?

Low carbon steel wire and galvanized wire have a lot of similar places, but carefully distinguish, they will find that there is not only a difference in the material, but also a greater difference in product characteristics. So in the process of purchase, we must make a clear distinction between the two. So what is the difference between galvanized wire and mild steel wire?

Low carbon steel wire: made of carbon structural steel, generally not galvanized, used for machinery, springs. Black and hard; Galvanized wire: made of low carbon steel (mild steel), galvanized, used for connection and bandaging. White and soft.

Galvanized wire is made of high quality low carbon steel wire processing, is made of high quality low carbon steel wire, after drawing molding, pickling rust removal, high temperature annealing, hot dip galvanized. Cooling process and other processing. Galvanized wire is divided into hot galvanized wire and cold galvanized wire (electric galvanized wire). Galvanized iron wire has good toughness and elasticity, the maximum amount of zinc can reach 300 grams/square meter. It has the characteristics of thick galvanized layer and strong corrosion resistance. There is a very important performance characteristic in the use of galvanized wire, which determines it is widely used in various fields. This characteristic is galvanized wire has good toughness and elasticity. Forming galvanized wire products can be bent and foldable, can be applied to different environmental fields of different needs, and has good corrosion resistance, galvanized wire in production and life is used more and more frequently.

Low carbon steel wire contains less than 0.2% carbon. The surface is usually coated with zinc because it is prone to rust. Under atmospheric conditions, galvanized wire galvanized layer will not rust before most of the fall off, relatively soft. Life said "low carbon steel wire", carbon content in about 0.6% of the "low carbon steel wire", or carbon content in about 0.8% of the "high carbon low carbon steel wire", they after appropriate heat treatment with enough hardness and elasticity, high strength. In terms of use, such as winding ordinary springs.

The biggest difference between galvanized wire and low carbon steel wire is the difference in carbon content. Iron has a carbon content of 2.11 percent or more, while steel has a carbon content of 2.11 percent or less. Iron-carbon alloys with carbon content above 2.11% are cast iron (pig iron), which are basically unmalleable and cannot be drawn into wire. Second, the content of impurities is different, steel sulfur, phosphorus and other harmful impurities content is smaller. Low carbon steel wire general color focus, galvanized wire color light, white.

1. Low carbon steel wire plastic, deformation resistance is small, so when drawing a drawing distance of the total surface reduction rate (see area reduction rate) can be obtained.

2. High strength, corrosion resistance and rain proof.

3. Easy to use.

4. Small production cost.
