Zinc Wire

Applications range from certain electrical uses and fittings for zinc-strip window frames to reinforcing filters in the production of zinc sulfate and for tying containers. Because of the stiffness of rolled zinc wire, the initial drawing stages must be carried out at low speeds and with small drafts to prevent overheating and edge cracking. The amounts of reduction that can be affected are materially influenced by the aluminum content.
