Electro Galvanized Welded Wire Mesh – Strong, Rustproof

Electro Galvanized Welded Wire Mesh: field notes from the shop floor

If you’ve spent time around fencing yards or fabrication shops, you’ve surely bumped into Electro Galvanized Welded Wire Mesh. It’s one of those quiet, do-everything materials—security partitions one day, greenhouse benches the next. To be honest, it’s not flashy. But it’s dependable, and that matters more when projects go live and weather happens.

What it is—and why people keep buying it

The short version: Electro Galvanized Welded Wire Mesh is low-carbon steel wire welded at intersections, then electroplated with zinc. Many customers say they pick it for its clean surface, consistent openings, and fair price. The zinc layer gives it good anti-corrosion properties and surprisingly strong weather resistance for indoor and light outdoor use. Not forever, of course, but long enough for most commercial cycles.

Process flow, materials, and testing

Base wire: low-carbon steel (Q195/SAE1008)
Welding: resistance spot-welded, low spatter, controlled heat input
Electro-galvanizing: uniform Zn coat via acid/alkaline bath, passivation optional
Finish: straightening, trimming, flatness check, bundle or roll packing

Typical tests (real-world use may vary): ASTM A641/A641M (zinc coating), ASTM A370 (tensile), AWS D1.3-based weld shear checks, and ASTM B117 salt spray benchmarking. I like to see 72–120 hours neutral salt spray without red rust for this category.

Core specifications (typical)

Item	Typical Spec (≈)
Wire Diameter	0.6–3.0 mm
Mesh Opening	6×6 mm to 50×50 mm
Sheet/Roll Size	1×2 m sheets; 0.9–1.8 m wide rolls
Zinc Coating	8–25 g/m² (electro-galv)
Tensile Strength	340–550 MPa
Weld Shear	≥ 50% of wire tensile (approx.)

Note: Specs above are typical ranges; custom builds available. Actual performance depends on environment, handling, and coating thickness.

Where it’s used (and why)

Partitions, cages, warehouse safety panels
Poultry, small animal enclosures, greenhouse benches and trellises
Plaster/stucco support, light-duty screening, HVAC guard grilles
Retail fixtures and architectural infill (indoor)

Service life: around 3–8 years inland under moderate exposure; 1–3 years in coastal or acidic environments. If you need more, consider hot-dip galv after welding.

Vendor comparison (snapshot)

Vendor	Location / Notes	Lead Time	Coating Uniformity	Docs & Certifications	Price Level
Tike Metal	East side of Baoheng Rd., Zhaobazhuang Village, Tangfeng Town, Shenzhou, Hengshui, Hebei	10–18 days	Consistent (±2–3 g/m²)	ISO 9001, MTC, RoHS/REACH on request	Competitive
Vendor A	Domestic stockist (mixed origins)	Ready stock/variable	Varies by batch	Basic CoC	Mid
Vendor B	Export-focused	15–25 days	Good, sometimes spotty on edges	ISO claim; partial lot tests	Low

Comparison based on my notes and customer feedback; always verify current data.

Customization, case studies, and feedback

Electro Galvanized Welded Wire Mesh can be tailored: tighter openings for small animal pens, thicker wire for impact zones, or heavier Zn for humid storage rooms. One poultry farm in Malaysia asked for 1.2 mm wire with 12.7×12.7 mm apertures; they reported zero broken welds after six months of daily cleaning. Another project—retail trellis infill in Central Europe—ran 72-hour ASTM B117 tests pre-install; no red rust, only light white zinc bloom. That’s acceptable, honestly.

Compliance and documentation

ISO 9001 quality system; MTC per heat/lot
ASTM A641/A641M coating reference, AWS weld checks
RoHS/REACH statements upon request

If your spec calls for elevated corrosion performance, I guess it’s worth upsizing to hot-dip options or adding powder coat topcoat. But for indoor fixtures and guarded equipment, this hits that price-performance sweet spot.
