Electro-Galvanized Wires (G.I. Wires)
Description
Electro-Galvanized Wires are also known as Cold Dip Wire. On these wires, zinc coating is done through an electrochemical process and can be produced with narrow diameter tolerance. During this process, bare steel wires are fully immersed in a saline/zinc bath, and electricity is used to move electrons from the zinc (anode) and bond them to the steel (cathode). In this case, the zinc acts as a barrier layer on top of the steel to prevent corrosive substances from reaching the underlying steel or iron.
Electro galvanized cable should be used in applications with limited exposure to harsh or extreme environments. It offers minimal corrosion protection, but in instances where it’s fully exposed to the elements, it will begin to corrode much faster than hot dip galvanized.
The main advantage to electro galvanized cable is that it’s the most cost-effective solution. For construction sites, it can be used as perimeter cable or as a barrier or tie-off cable for employees working at heights. For applications where it may experience field use for a few weeks or a few months, it can then be safely disposed of once the project is complete.
If exposure to the elements is minimal, it can be used in architectural applications for aesthetic purposes due to its naturally bright and shiny finish.
