AC-02 18.8KG 12# iron wire/1*1

FEATURES:

• Material: Galvanized Iron (GI) or Galvanized Steel (Low-Carbon Steel coated with Zinc).

• Gauge: 12 Gauge (often denoted as 12# or 12 SWG).

  • Diameter: Approximately 2.68 mm to 2.80 mm (a medium thickness).

• Weight: 18.8 KG (for this specific coil/package).

• Appearance: Shiny, smooth, and metallic (silver/gray) due to the galvanization, wound into a large coil.

Key Features

• Corrosion Resistance: The primary feature of galvanized wire. The zinc coating protects the iron/steel base from rust and corrosion, making it suitable for outdoor and high-humidity environments.

• Durability and Strength: It offers a good balance of tensile strength (typically 350–550 N/mm²) for load-bearing applications and flexibility for bending, tying, and shaping.

• Versatility: Due to its strength and rust resistance, it has a wide range of applications.

• Cost-Effective: It is generally more affordable than stainless steel while still providing significant rust protection.

Common Applications

• Construction:

  • Binding Wire: Widely used for tying and securing rebar (reinforcing bars) in concrete structures (like RCC).

  • General fastening and temporary support.

• Fencing & Agriculture:

  • Making chain link fences, barbed wire, and gabion baskets.

  • Agricultural enclosures, livestock control, and creating trellises for crops/vines.

• Industrial Use:

  • Packaging and baling materials like cardboard and scrap metal.

  • Cable armoring.

• Other:

  • Crafting, DIY projects, and general household repairs.
