0.71mm galvanized steel wire is a type of wire made from steel that has been coated with a layer of zinc to protect it from corrosion. The coating is applied through a process called galvanization, in which the steel is immersed in a bath of molten zinc. The thickness of the coating is measured in micrometres (µm), and 0.71mm is equivalent to 710 micrometres. The wire is typically used in construction, fencing and other applications where corrosion resistance is important. It is stronger and thicker than 0.36mm wire. It can be used for applications that require more strength like heavy duty construction or industrial use.

FAQs About This Wire
Galvanized Steel Wire Uses?

Can Galvanized Steel Wire Be Painted Or Colored?
The galvanized steel wire can be painted or colored, but it requires special preparations to ensure that the paint adheres well. Zinc coatings, while excellent for corrosion resistance, can pose difficulties when painting directly over them. Cleaning the wire with mild detergent or degreaser will remove debris and grease.
Sand the surface lightly with fine-grit sandpaper to create a texture that will allow the paint to adhere, being careful not to remove the protective zinc layer. Primer designed for galvanized metal is essential for improved paint adhesion and a uniform finish.
After the primer has dried, you can apply your chosen paint, preferably an acrylic latex or one designed for metal surfaces.
Give the paint plenty of time to dry and cure according to the manufacturer’s instructions. In spite of the fact that painting enhances the wire’s aesthetics, it might require ongoing maintenance, especially if the wire is exposed to harsh environments.
