Zinc Wire 1mm Diameter Bright Finish for Hot Dip Galvanizing Industry

Zinc wire with a 1mm diameter and a bright finish is a standard and highly effective material used in the hot dip galvanizing process, where steel and iron components are coated with molten zinc to protect against corrosion. The 1mm diameter is an optimal size that balances melting efficiency, coating consistency, and ease of handling in industrial galvanizing operations.

The bright finish of the wire typically indicates a clean, smooth surface with high purity, often free from heavy oxidation or surface contaminants. This surface quality allows for smoother melting, reduced dross formation, and a more uniform zinc bath, all of which contribute to a high-quality, defect-free coating on the base metal.

In the hot dip galvanizing process, the 1mm wire is continuously fed into a molten zinc kettle (typically at around 450°C), where it melts and mixes with the bath. This helps maintain the correct zinc chemistry and ensures a steady supply of zinc for coating. The 1mm diameter is preferred in many plants because it melts steadily, feeds smoothly into the bath, and contributes to an even distribution of zinc on items like pipes, beams, fasteners, and automotive parts.

• Purity reaches as high as 99.995-99.997%; impurities such as Pd and Cd are extremely low.
• Wire unwinds uniformly and continuously, ensuring excellent performance and long-term retention of key properties; the wire surface is smooth and oil-free.
• No wire feeding issues: no particles, tangled wires, kinks, bends, wire breakages, metallic particles in the spray coating, wire embrittlement/fragility, metal coating surface oxidation, arc failure or flameout during spraying, gun blockage, or plugging of the ignition gun, nozzle, or wire feed roll.
• Free test reports on capacitor spray coating thickness, porosity, and bond strength; and thermal spray zinc coating thickness and porosity test reports.
