Hot-dip galvanized wire has longer service life and better corrosion resistance than ordinary steel wire. Hot dip galvanizing is a method of chemical combination of zinc metal and steel wire surface, through the formation of a strong and self-healing zinc-iron alloy protective layer on the steel wire surface, so as to prevent direct contact between the steel wire and the external environment, reduce the possibility of oxidation corrosion, and extend the service life of the steel wire.
First of all, the protective layer of zinc-iron alloy can prevent the steel wire from being corroded by oxidation. The zinc metal reacts with water and oxygen to form a dense zinc oxide layer, which forms a physical barrier to prevent oxygen and water from entering the inside of the steel wire, reducing the chance of corrosion. Compared with ordinary steel wire, hot-dip galvanized wire is more resistant to corrosion in humid, high humidity or corrosive environments such as acid and alkali, so it is more durable.
Secondly, the zinc-iron alloy protective layer of hot-dip galvanized wire has self-healing properties. When the surface of hot-dip galvanized wire is damaged or scratched, zinc metal can form zinc ions through electrochemical reaction, self-healing repair of the damaged zinc-iron alloy protective layer, so as to maintain the corrosion resistance of the steel wire. This self-healing property enables the hot-dip galvanized wire to be quickly repaired during use, even if there is a slight scratch or damage on the surface, avoiding further corrosion. After the ordinary steel wire is damaged on the surface, it is often unable to repair itself, which is easy to lead to the diffusion of corrosion and accelerate the aging and damage of the steel wire.
In addition, the corrosion resistance of hot-dip galvanized wire will also be affected by other factors. For example, in different environments, especially in some special chemical environments, such as acidic or alkaline environments, the corrosion resistance of hot-dip galvanized wire may be affected to a certain extent. At this time, it may be necessary to use other materials that are more resistant to corrosion to replace the hot-dip galvanized wire.
In addition, hot-dip galvanized wire also needs to pay attention to maintenance and maintenance during use. Although it has good corrosion resistance, the zinc-iron alloy protective layer of hot-dip galvanized wire will gradually wear out after a long time of use. Therefore, regular inspection and maintenance of the surface of hot-dip galvanized wire, such as recoating or anti-corrosion treatment, helps to extend its service life.
