Galvanized copper wire is a copper wire product with a layer of zinc on the surface of pure copper wire. Its main function is to increase the corrosion resistance of copper wire, improve its conductivity and reduce costs.
1. What is galvanized copper wire?
Galvanized copper wire is a copper wire product that processes the surface of pure copper wire into a copper-zinc alloy. Electroplating is usually used to cover a layer of zinc on the surface of copper wire to improve the corrosion resistance of copper wire. Galvanized copper wire has excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance and is widely used in power, electrical, electronic and communication fields.
2. Manufacturing process
The manufacturing process of galvanized copper wire mainly includes the following steps:
1) Metal surface treatment: First, the surface of the copper wire needs to be treated to remove oil, oxides and other contaminants on the surface to make the surface smooth, clean and uniform.
2) Electrolytic zinc production: The copper wire is immersed in an electrolyte containing zinc ions, and a layer of zinc is deposited on the surface of the copper wire through an external electric field to form a copper-zinc alloy, thereby forming a galvanized copper wire.
3) Cleaning and packaging: The galvanized copper wire needs to go through subsequent processes such as cleaning and drying, and then be packaged before it can be sold.
3. Application fields
Due to its good electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, galvanized copper wire is widely used in power, electrical, electronic and communication fields. Its main uses include:
1) Wire materials: galvanized copper wire can be used to make wire materials such as cables, winding wires, and electric heating wires.
2) Electronic devices: galvanized copper wire can be used to make electronic devices such as resistors, capacitors, transformers, and magnetic cores.
3) Communication equipment: galvanized copper wire can be used to make electromagnetic shielding materials, grounding wires and other communication equipment accessories.
4. Summary
In short, galvanized copper wire is a copper wire product with excellent corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity. Its production process mainly includes metal surface treatment, electrolytic zinc production, cleaning and packaging. The application field of galvanized copper wire is very wide, mainly used in electronic devices, power equipment, communication equipment and other fields.
