Galfan Coated Steel Wire

Application

zinc–5 % aluminummischmetal (Zn–5Al–MM) alloy-coated, steel core wire for use in Overhead Electrical Conductors. ACSS ACSS/TW The high temperature low sag solution. Zinc-5% Aluminum mischmetal alloy galvanized steel wire is used for Power Transmission and Distribution Line Hardware，Slope protection、Undersea optical cable armoured with low carbon galvanized steel wire，Overhead Electrical Conductors.

Construction

Galfan coated wire is covered with Zn-Al (Al 5%+Zn 95% or Al 10%+Zn 90%) alloy. Its corrosion resistance performance is about three times stronger than traditional galvanized wire. This is why it can be used to achieve a longer service life than the wires which are made of other materials. Through the replacement of traditional zinc coating with a thinner galfan wire coating, it offers improved weldability and formability properties.

Standards

ASTM B802 803 958

Class

Round, high strength, extra-high-strength, and ultra-high-strength, Class A B C coated

Features

operates continuously at high temperatures up to 250°C, with proper steel coating, ensuring maximum utilization and performance; standard coating for high temperature operation is a Zn-5% Al Mischmetal coating so that customers can take full advantage of the 250°C continuous operating temperature rating. Galvanized coatings are rated only 180°C for continuous operation.
