BWG14 (2.11mm) galvanized wire’s characteristics and applications

China professional supplier of high quality of galvanized wire for more than 20 years. Monthly output 2000tons .Our wire be exported to more than 30 countries ,If you need a reliable partner in China,Please contact with us.

I. Material

2.11mm(BWG14#) galvanized wire, made of high-quality low-carbon steel Q195/Q235 (corresponding to SAE1006/1008), was drawn, annealed, pickled and galvanized.

-tensile strength: 350–550 MPa
-Elongation: ≥12%
-Features: good toughness, easy to bend, difficult to break and strong weldability.

II .The characteristics

-Corrosion resistance: the zinc layer is isolated from oxidation, and hot dip galvanizing can be rust-free for 10-20 years outdoors.
-Moderate flexibility: balanced strength and plasticity, suitable for binding, weaving and bending.
-High cost performance: far lower than stainless steel, low maintenance cost.
-Beautiful surface: silver gray after hot dip galvanizing; Galvanizing is bright and white.

III. Types of Galvanizing

1) Hot‑dip Galvanized

-Process: Immerse in molten zinc at 445-465℃.
-Zinc layer: 50–150μ m (55–300g/㎡), thick and strong adhesion.
-Performance: extremely resistant to corrosion, suitable for outdoor/coastal/heavy corrosive environment.
-Appearance: silver gray, slightly rough.

2) Galvanized zinc plating (Electro‑Galvanized)

-Process: electrolytic deposition of zinc layer.
-Zinc layer: 5–20μ m (15–50g/㎡), thin and uniform.
-Performance: general corrosion resistance, suitable for indoor/dry environment.
-Appearance: bright, white and smooth.

IV. Export packaging (shipping standards)

-inner packaging: each roll of PE film+antirust paper is wrapped to prevent moisture.
-Coil type: I-type shaft coil (commonly used), with a single coil of 25–50kg; Or large coil (100–500 kg).
-Outer packing:
-Standard: PP woven bag (green/white), sewn by hand.
-Strengthening: IPPC fumigation wooden box (necessary for Europe and America, quarantine prevention).
-Reinforcement: galvanized packing tape is used for binding to prevent looseness.
-Marking: indicate * * specifications, weight, batch number, “moisture-proof/handle with care” * * and so on.

V. Application fields

1) Construction engineering

-Steel binding, scaffold fixing and concrete formwork reinforcement.
-Making welding nets, plastering nets and protective nets.

2) Agriculture and animal husbandry

-Orchards/vineyards set up scaffolding to tie vines and greenhouse skeletons.
-Animal husbandry pens, chicken cages/rabbit cages, and breeding cages.

3) Industry and packaging

-product bundling, carton edge sealing and metal packaging reinforcement.
-Handicrafts, screen weaving, springs, clothes hangers and other hardware.

4) Protection and traffic

-Highway guardrails, slope protection nets and river gabion nets.
-Community/factory fence and barbed wire netting (anti-theft).

5) Others

-communication cable reinforcing core, power line binding, daily clothesline, etc.

Sixth, suggestions for purchasing

-Outdoor/coastal/high-corrosive environment → hot dip galvanizing (≥120g/㎡).
-Indoor/drying/decorative use → selective zinc plating (low cost and bright appearance).
-exported to Europe and America → packed in IPPC wooden cases, conforming to ISPM15.
