Galvanized iron wire, soft annealed, electro galvanized and hot
dipped galvanised, pvc or epoxy coated into colors. Made of high carbon, medium and low carbon steel.

 

Oval Wire

Oval wire is popularly used as fencing wire for cattle and other big animals by farmers. It is also used to support the growing plants or tomatoes.

Benefits of Using Oval Wire:
High tensile fencing for animals;
High corrosion resistance with hot dipped galvanizing protection;
Easy handling with oval section shape.

Applications for galvanized oval steel wire:
Agriculture fencing;
Vineyard support;
Trellis support;
Horticulture structures.

Common Sizes for galvanized oval steel wire:
Size :2.7/2.2mm,3.0/2.4mm
Zinc coating rate:40g/m2-300g/m2
Coil weight: 25-800kg

Galvanized steel oval wire is made of high carbon steel. It is widely used in South America countries.

Tensile Strength (Mpa)

The tensile strength is defined as the maximum load achieved in the tensile test, divided by the cross-sectional area of the wire test piece. Galvanized Wire is produced using soft, medium and hard grade wires. The following table specifies the tensile range according to the grade:

Steel Chemistry

A combination of steel grades is used and heat treatment processes to manufacture soft, medium and hard tensile grades. The table below is indicative only of steel chemistries used.

Tensile Grade % Carbon % Phosphorus % Manganese % Silicon % Sulphur
Normal 0.45 ~ 0.50 0.032 0.5 ~ 1.00 0.10 ~ 0.34 0.041
High 0.59 ~ 0.63 0.035 0.5 ~ 1.10 0.10 ~ 0.35 0.045
