The Central Role of Galvanization
Galvanized square wire mesh is a fundamental and widely used product category, and factories specializing in it focus heavily on the galvanization process. This process involves applying a protective zinc coating to steel wire, which sacrificially protects the underlying steel from rust and corrosion. This makes the mesh exceptionally suitable for long-term exposure to the elements in outdoor applications, as well as in harsh industrial environments. The zinc coating acts as a physical barrier and provides cathodic protection; if the coating is scratched, the zinc will corrode preferentially to the steel.
Galvanization Techniques and Subsequent Weaving
Factories primarily use the hot-dip galvanizing method for its superior durability. In this process, the steel wire (or sometimes the finished woven mesh) is cleaned of all oxides and oils, fluxed, and then immersed in a bath of molten zinc at approximately 450°C. This results in a thick, metallurgically bonded coating that is integral to the wire's surface. After galvanizing, the wire is woven on large, automated looms into square mesh. The product range is vast, from very fine meshes (e.g., 30x30 mesh per inch) used for filtering and sieving to heavy-duty meshes with large openings (e.g., 2" x 2") used for fencing, cages, and partitions.
Wide-Ranging Industrial and Commercial Applications
The combination of strength, durability, and cost-effectiveness makes galvanized square wire mesh one of the most common wire products. Its applications are extensive: it is used as reinforcement in concrete (e.g., for gabion baskets), as safety barriers and machine guards in factories, as animal enclosures and aviaries in agriculture, as fencing for residential and commercial properties, and as screening for windows and storage areas. It is also a key material in infrastructure projects for rock fall protection and slope stabilization.
