Galvanized Wire Rope

6 strand hot dip galvanized wire rope

Hot galvanized steel wire rope has a much more limited use than cold galvanized steel wire rope. In most cases, only special constructions of wire ropes are hot galvanized. Hot galvanized steel wire rope has a much higher environmental resistance than cold galvanized samples in contact with water and industrial corrosives and is seen in matte silver color. Meanwhile, the cold galvanized steel wire rope has a shiny silver surface.
The hot galvanizing plating of the steel wire ropes causes a very thick layer of zinc metal with a thickness between 36 and 100 microns to be placed on the surface of the towing wires. Meanwhile, the thickness of the zinc layer in the cold galvanized plating of the steel wire ropes is about 18 microns.

galvanized wire rope

Range galvanized wire rope includes many wire rope textures and structures. In fact, except for stainless steel towing wire, which has anti-rust properties due to the presence of elements such as chrome and nickel in the structure, most samples of steel towing wire are used in galvanized form. In fact, steel as the main alloy used in the production of wire rope is formed from iron element with a very high percentage, which is a metallic element with unstable electrons and prone to covalent bonding with oxygen. Therefore, the steel towing wire will rust in contact with water, moisture and many acidic and alkaline substances in nature without galvanized plating.

Cold galvanized wire rope is plated with zinc at a temperature of approximately 240 degrees. At this temperature, a thin layer of zinc, which is about 18 microns, is placed on the surface of the cold galvanized towing wire. Of course, this thin layer is quickly lost in contact with metal surfaces and due to wear, and therefore cold galvanized wire rope often has little resistance to rust and is used in environments with low humidity. In most applications, surface greasing is done in order to increase the environmental capabilities of cold galvanized towing wire.

galvanized wire rope clip

Galvanized wire rope clip is produced in both steel grades and cast iron grades and in different sizes from 3 to 36 mm. In most cases, the wire rope clip is used in several series in parallel to have the restraining force necessary to keep two strands of tow wire on each other. The tow wire fastener is not considered as a replacement for the wire rope socket or press, and in comparison with them, it creates a lower tensile strength. However, for many uses, except for lifting the bar as a tow wire sling, the tow strap can be used.

Hot deep galvanized wire rope

Steel wire ropes have two types of plating including hot galvanizing and cold galvanizing.
Hot deep galvanized wire is used in difficult and very rare cases due to its higher price than cold galvanized. it has a matte silver surface.
These steel wire ropes include different and upward grades of steel.
However, longer service life and very high resistance to rust and corrosion are their most important features compared to others.
