12 Gauge Galvanized Wire Application

• Building construction: concrete reinforcement, bundling materials (tying reinforcing bars, fixing scaffolding and formwork), making wall and floor reinforcement nets.
• Agriculture: making breeding fence/farmland isolation net, greenhouse bracket fixing/vineyard support, gardening tying.
• Industrial Manufacturing: Heavy duty screen mesh, heavy duty cargo strapping, machinery and equipment protection mesh, cable armoring, spring manufacturing.
• Handicrafts & Decoration: Ironwork (fencing, ornaments), metal weaving, DIY handmade model frames.
• Others: temporary safety fences, freshwater aquaculture netting fixing, etc.

12 Gauge Galvanized Wire Features

1. Good corrosion resistance: the surface has a zinc layer, which can effectively isolate the corrosive medium and extend the service life. The hot-dip galvanized wire has better corrosion resistance.
2. Moderate strength: 12 gauge galvanized wire has moderate thickness, has a certain strength, and can withstand a certain amount of pressure and tension.
3. Good plasticity: low carbon steel has high toughness and is easy to bend, weave or process into shape.
4. Wide application: it can be processed into various types of products by shearing, bending, and welding, and applied to various scenarios.

Common Wire Gauge Standards Comparison Table

The larger the gauge number (Gauge), the thinner the thickness/diameter.

Why? HISTORICAL PROCESS BACKGROUND: Wire gauges were originally used to indicate the number of times a wire was drawn, and for each draw, the diameter decreased and the number (Gauge) increased by one.
