Hot-Dipped Galvanized Welded Wire Mesh

Material Composition
Hot-dipped galvanized welded wire mesh is fabricated from low carbon steel wire. This provides strength combined with workability during forming and welding processes.

Surface Finishing
A key feature is the hot-dipped galvanizing applied after welding. Zinc is applied via a hot-dip coating, resulting in a protective layer that inhibits corrosion. This extends the usable lifespan of the mesh.

Alternatively, electrogalvanizing can be used before or after welding for corrosion resistance as well. Other options include PVC or plastic coating for additional weatherability.

Typical Specifications
Wire diameters range from 1.5mm depending on the intended application. Mesh openings are commonly 12.5x12.5mm to allow optimal airflow/visibility. Rolls are 3 feet wide by up to 100 feet in length for efficient material handling.

Applications
With its strength and durability, hot-dipped galvanized welded wire mesh finds wide application. Common uses include animal cages, machine guards, fencing, furniture, ventilation grates and more. It is also suited for construction projects and industrial partitioning that require corrosion protection.

Overall, the hot-dipping galvanizing process produces wire mesh with superior resistance to rust and weathering. This makes it a go-to option for applications requiring durable and long-lasting fencing or screening materials.
