Galvanized iron wire is also called galvanized steel wire,which is made of Q195 low carbon steel wire after drawing,zinc coating of electro or hot dipped processing.
Galvanized iron wire can be classified into hot-dipped galvanized iron wire and electro galvanized wire according to the differences of processing.
Sizes of hot-dipped galvanized wire: 8BWG to 36BWG(wire diameter ranging from 3.8mm to 0.19mm)
Sizes of electro galvanized wire: 8BWG to 38BWG(wire diameter ranging from 3.8mm to 0.15mm)
