The zinc coating on the surface of steel strands (both galvanized and copper-coated) acts as a protective barrier, effectively preventing the steel strands from being corroded by moisture, oxygen, etc., and has excellent corrosion resistance. Although its breaking strength and tensile strength are not extremely high, the protection provided by the zinc layer enables it to have a longer service life in harsher environments. Additionally, galvanized steel strands have a certain strength-to-weight ratio and are relatively lightweight.
Steel strands (galvanized and copper-coated) are widely used in the construction industry, such as in steel mesh used for building fences and road barriers; in the field of steel wire ropes, they are used for lifting heavy objects at construction sites; and they are also applied in some packaging and daily products.It is also applied in the field of electrical grounding systems, effectively reducing the grounding resistance and ensuring the stable operation of the grounding system. Moreover, they are also used in power transmission and distribution systems, telecommunications, and aerospace fields, providing reliable and cost-effective solutions for these areas.
Steel strands (galvanized and copper-coated) is made by coating a layer of copper on the surface of the steel core. Usually, high-strength steel is used as the core material, and then the copper coating treatment is carried out through certain process flows to form a copper coating layer on the surface of the steel core.
Steel strands (galvanized and copper-coated) combines the high strength of the steel core and the excellent conductivity of the copper coating. The steel core provides high tensile strength, enabling it to withstand large tensile and impact forces. The copper coating not only improves the conductivity of the steel strand, but also has good corrosion resistance, preventing the steel core from oxidizing in humid environments.
