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.
