THE GALVANIZING

This paper addresses some aspects of the process of wire galvanizing, with an emphasis on their zinc coating treatment. After producing wire by cold or hot drawing, the resulting structure consists of highly elongated crystals forming on the main direction. This structure influences the quality of deposited zinc layer and also the adhesion to the base material. In this case, the patent is strictly required for wire diameters up to 8-9 mm, because changing the crystalline structure helps to a much better grip of the coated zinc on the superficial layer, to the steel.
