Low Carbon Galvanizing Line

The low carbon wire galvanizing process is usually accompanied by in-line process annealing. This heat-treatment lowers the stresses introduced during wire drawing and increases the wire’s ductility. The oxidized wire surface (scale) resulting from annealing is removed by cleaning in acid (pickling) followed by rinsing and fluxing. The wires are submerged in liquid zinc for the hotdip galvanizing process. The galvanized surface provides a superficially protective coating against corrosion to the steel wire base. Commercial (minimum) coating and heavy zinc coatings can be applied on the same process line with our modular nitrogen and vertical pad wiping systems.
