Zinc is a silver-white metal, brittle at room temperature, soluble in acid and alkali, known as amphoteric metal. Pure zinc is more stable in dry air, and small in humid air or water containing carbon dioxide and oxygen. A thin film layer of basic zinc carbonate will be formed on the surface, which can delay the corrosion rate of zinc layer. The corrosion resistance of galvanized layer in aqueous solution of acid, alkali and sodium chloride is relatively strong. It is also not resistant to corrosion in atmospheres containing carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide and in Marine atmospheres; In high temperature and high humidity air and containing organic acid atmosphere is small, galvanized layer is also easy to be corroded.

Raw material of wire mesh sheet cold drawn low carbon steel wire base material can choose low carbon steel hot rolled disk bar or hot rolled smooth steel bar. The base material number and diameter of cold-drawn low carbon steel wire can be confirmed according to the rules in the table below. During the cold drawing process, the surface shrinkage rate of each drawing should not be greater than the wire mesh before cold drawing. Annealing shall not be carried out during wire drawing. If butt welding is required, the same production unit and base material of the same number should be selected. The appearance quality of wire mesh should not affect wire drawing. When the welding function is poor or brittle fracture occurs, special inspection should be carried out according to relevant standards.
