Hot dipped Galvanized After Welding Wire Mesh
Galvanized or Zinc coated steel offer superior corrosion resistance compared to standard carbon steel without the expense of stainless steel. GAW (Galvanized after Welded) and GBW (Galvanized Before Welded)are common terms in the Wire Mesh Industry. There are various methods of galvanizing.Besides Hot dipped Galvanized After Welding,the most common are electro galvanized(cold galvanized),electro galvanized before welding and hot dipped galvanized.
Galvanized After Welded
Galvanized After Welded,also know as GAW.These products are made by dipping previously welded mesh into a bath of molten zinc. The entire fence or mesh, including the welded areas, is thoroughly sealed and protected against rust and corrosion. Because it is covered with so much more zinc than GBW galvanized before welded wire fencing, it will last years longer.
Application:
Hot dipped Galvanized After Welding Wire Mesh and fences are available in a wide variety of gauges and mesh sizes. Smaller meshes made with lighter gauge wires are ideal for making long lasting cages for small animals. The heavier gauges and meshes with larger openings make durable fences for animals. They have many uses around the home.
Common specifications:
Common specifications of GAW welded wire fences and meshes are as follows:
23 gauge | 19 gauge | 16 gauge | 14 gauge | 12-1/2 gauge |
1/4" x 1/4" mesh | 1/2"x1/2"mesh | 1/2"x1/2"mesh 1/2" x 1" mesh 1" x 1" mesh | 1"x1"mesh 1"x2"mesh 2"x4"mesh | 1/2" x 3" mesh 1" x 1" mesh 1-1/2"x1-1/2"mesh 2" x 4" mesh |
