There are several main differences between oily steel wire and galvanized steel wire:
Surface treatment:
Oily steel wire: The surface is coated with a layer of grease, which is usually used for rust prevention and lubrication.
Galvanized steel wire: The surface is coated with a layer of zinc, which has good rust prevention properties. The zinc layer protects the steel wire from being easily oxidized.
Uses:
Oily steel wire: Commonly used in applications that require lubrication, such as springs, winding wires, etc., grease can reduce friction.
Galvanized steel wire: Widely used in construction, agriculture, transportation and other fields, because of its strong corrosion resistance, it is suitable for outdoor environments.
Corrosion resistance:
Oily steel wire: The rust prevention ability is limited, and it may rust if exposed to a humid environment for a long time.
Galvanized steel wire: Due to the protection of the zinc layer, it has strong corrosion resistance and can be used in harsh environments.
Cost:
Generally speaking, the production cost of galvanized steel wire will be higher than that of oily steel wire because the galvanizing process requires additional materials and processes.
