In order to remove the photosynovium and oxide remaining on the surface of galvanized iron wire after drawing or heat treatment, it is necessary to do the surface treatment of galvanized steel wire before plating. The common surface of low carbon steel wire is the light synovium or oxide of animal or vegetable oil; Medium and high carbon steel in addition to contain animal or vegetable oil components.

Good galvanized wire, plating thickness of 3- 4 mm, zinc adhesion should be less than 460 grams/m, that is, the average thickness of zinc layer is not less than 65 microns. When the thickness of plated parts is greater than 4 mm, the zinc adhesion should not be less than 610 g/m, that is, the average thickness of zinc layer should not be less than 86 microns. Standard galvanized wire coating must be uniform, galvanized layer basically uniform with copper sulfate solution test etching five times no dew iron. For standard galvanized wire coating adhesion requirements, the zinc layer of plated parts should be firmly combined with the basic metal and have enough adhesion strength, after hammer test does not fall off, not convex.
