Galvanized steel wire rope is divided into two categories: cold galvanized steel wire rope and hot-dip galvanized steel wire rope. Hot-dip galvanizing and cold-dip galvanizing have this essential difference in the process. Hot-dip galvanizing relies on physical thermal diffusion to form a coating. First, iron-zinc compounds are formed, and then a pure zinc layer is formed on the surface of the iron-zinc compounds. The highest value of zinc on hot-dip galvanizing is only 593g/m2. Hot-dip galvanizing will reduce the mechanical properties of the steel wire. Galvanized steel wire ropes that require high strength and high corrosion resistance are mostly twisted by electro-galvanized steel wires. Hot-dip galvanizing is zinc plated in a molten zinc bath at 450-480 degrees.
