Galvanized welded wire mesh is an ideal choice for both indoor and outdoor applications. Its galvanized finish protects the mesh from rusting, which makes it durable and corrosion-resistant. Also, its uniform surface makes it popular for different uses, including fencing, filtration systems, cages, etc. Wanzhi Steel is a top steel mesh manufacturer in China, which offers both GBW (galvanized before welding) and GAW (galvanized after welding) wire meshes in various opening sizes, shapes, wire thickness, etc. Also, we stock PVC-coated welded wire mesh in different colors. Welcome to contact us for more details!
A thick, robust outer layer of zinc is what makes galvanized hardware cloth so strong and resilient. How does it acquire this coating? It can be done in a couple of ways: hot-dipping and electrogalvanizing. Each process is outlined below.
1. The stainless steel is cleaned with a sodium hydroxide solution to remove dirt, debris, oil, and other residues.
2. An acidic solution is then used to remove any mill scale, rust, contaminants, and other surface impurities.
3. A zinc ammonium chloride cleaning agent (also known as a "flux") is applied to the surface to prevent oxidation. This solution remains on the steel, as it helps the zinc stick.
4. Next, the stainless steel is dipped into a vat of molten zinc (which has been liquified at an extremely high temperature).
5. The steel remains in the vat until it reaches the same temperature as the hot zinc.
6. After being removed from the vat, the stainless steel is rapidly cooled in a special tank.
Hot-dip galvanizing creates a physical and chemical bond between the steel and the zinc. This is what's called a zinc-steel alloy.
Stainless steel can be galvanized either before or after it's fabricated into wire mesh. When galvanizing occurs first, the metal is drawn down the desired diameter. The individual metal wires are coated with zinc and then woven or welded into screens. Welding can burn the zinc layer off at the joints, in which case it may need to be galvanized again.
When fabrication comes first, pre-woven steel products are dipped into molten zinc or coated with a solvent. This is usually the more costly option, particularly if mesh products are custom ordered and then galvanized. However, it ensures the mesh screens retain their protective coating.

What is wire mesh used for after it's galvanized? Due to its notable durability and corrosion-resistance, the material is an important component of many industrial applications.
Galvanized stainless steel screens are used for:
- Agriculture and farming
- Archaeology
- Fencing, enclosures, and safety
- Gardening, greenhouses, and landscaping
- Gutter guards, soffit screens, and foundation vents
- HVAC applications
- Particle
- Pest-control
- Retention walls
- Roofing, ceilings, infill panels, drywall, and insulation
Galvanized hardware cloth is technically a type of stainless steel mesh. However, the material is often given its own category, as it has distinct features and advantages.
Galvanized welded mesh is widely used for fencing, decoration, filtration systems, etc. in construction, agriculture, transportation, garden, sports field, and other aspects.
1. Construction uses include, but are not limited to bridge, highway, sport filed fencing, gabion, partition, safety guards, infill panels, gates, and windows, as well as other decorative applications.
2. Animal control, such as chicken loops, dog fencing, rabbit hutches, bird or insect screen, etc.
3. Agriculture uses, including but not limited to garden fencing, greenhouse use, panels for climbing plants, etc.
4. Industrial uses, for example, filtration systems, machine protection fencing, etc.
