Steel wire after galvanized treatment, the surface will be covered with a layer of zinc metal, to play the role of anti-corrosion, anti-fouling, enhance strength and beauty. The galvanized wire drawing treatment is to process the steel wire by stretching method to obtain a finer, higher strength and smoother surface, and improve its mechanical properties. However, will wire drawing affect the electrical conductivity of galvanized steel wire?
First of all, we need to understand that the electrical conductivity of the wire depends on its material and size, and is not affected by the surface treatment method. Whether galvanized treatment or wire drawing treatment, they are the surface of the steel wire treatment, will not change the basic physical properties of the steel wire, electrical conductivity will not be affected. Therefore, in theory, the galvanized wire drawing treatment should not have any effect on the electrical conductivity of the steel wire.
However, in the actual production process, the wire may be affected by other factors that may cause the wire to lose its conductive properties. For example, if the thickness of the galvanized layer is too thick or the surface is not uniform, the current density on the surface of the wire will be uneven, which will reduce the electrical conductivity of the wire. Similarly, if the wire is stretched too much during wire drawing, it may cause the wire to break or the surface to deform, thus affecting its electrical conductivity.
In order to ensure the electrical conductivity of steel wire, manufacturers need to follow a number of standards and regulations. For example, in the galvanizing treatment of steel wire, the international standard ISO 1461 should be followed to ensure uniform zinc layer thickness and surface gloss. In wire drawing processing, excessive stretching should be avoided so as not to deform the wire or lose its mechanical properties.
In addition, when using the steel wire, it is also necessary to pay attention to protecting the surface of the steel wire. For example, if the surface of the steel wire is damaged or corroded, it may affect its electrical conductivity. Therefore, in the use of steel wire, should try to avoid steel wire with wet environment or chemical substances in order to protect its surface and electrical conductivity.
