Galvanized steel wire ropes are divided into two categories: cold galvanized steel wire ropes and hot-dip galvanized steel wire ropes. There is a fundamental difference in the process between hot-dip galvanizing and cold galvanizing. Hot dip galvanizing relies on physical thermal diffusion to form a coating, which first forms an iron zinc compound and subsequently forms a pure zinc layer on the surface of the iron zinc compound. The higher zinc content on hot-dip galvanizing is only 593g/m2. Hot dip galvanizing can reduce the mechanical properties of steel wire, and galvanized steel wire ropes with high strength and corrosion resistance are often twisted with electroplated galvanized steel wire. Hot dip galvanizing is the process of plating zinc in a molten zinc solution at 450-480 degrees Celsius.
