Cold galvanized is in the plating tank through the current unidirectional zinc gradually plated on the metal surface, production speed is slow, uniform coating, thin thickness, usually only 3-15 microns, bright appearance, poor corrosion resistance, generally a few months will rust. Compared with electrogalvanizing, hot galvanizing has lower production cost and less impact on the environment than electroplating.
Galvanized wire in acid, alkali, sodium chloride aqueous solution of poor corrosion resistance, in the atmosphere containing carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, as well as Marine atmosphere is not corrosion resistance. In high temperature and high humidity air and containing organic acid atmosphere is small, galvanized layer is also easy to be corroded. Galvanized wire and general wire is very different, general wire is cheap, and because the iron is not very stable, easy to rust in the wet place, so the stability is not very good, the life is not very long.
However, in the actual production process, the wire may be affected by other factors that may cause the wire to lose its conductive properties. For example, if the thickness of the galvanized layer is too thick or the surface is not uniform, the current density on the surface of the wire will be uneven, which will reduce the electrical conductivity of the wire. Similarly, if the wire is stretched too much during wire drawing, it may cause the wire to break or the surface to deform, thus affecting its electrical conductivity.
