Electro-Galvanised Wires vs. Hot-Dip Galvanised Wires
The fundamental difference between electro-galvanised wire and hot-dip galvanised wire is how the zinc coating is applied. Electro-galvanised wire is zinc-coated by electroplating, which is fast and cheap but has weak bond strength, limited corrosion resistance, and a slower process. Hot-dip wire is preferable because its zinc-iron bond is stronger, making it corrosion-resistant and robust. Electro galvanised wire and hot-dip galvanised wire are both types of wire that have been coated with a layer of zinc to protect them from corrosion. The main difference between the two is how the zinc coating is applied. An electro-galvanised wire is coated with zinc through an electroplating process, in which an electric current is used to deposit a thin layer of zinc onto the surface of the wire. This process is relatively quick and inexpensive, making electro-galvanised wire an appealing choice for many applications. However, there are several drawbacks to using electro-g...
