Galvanized steel wire rope is produced by applying a protective zinc coating to high-quality steel wire through electro-galvanizing or hot-dip galvanizing processes. The zinc layer provides excellent corrosion resistance, significantly extending the service life of the wire rope in harsh environments.
At Precision Wire Rope, we supply a wide range of galvanized wire ropes designed for strength, durability, and reliable performance across industrial, marine, and construction applications.
Structure & Materials
Core Types
- Fiber Core (FC) – flexible, suitable for general applications
- Independent Wire Rope Core (IWRC) – higher strength and load capacity
- Polypropylene Core (PP) – improved resistance to moisture and corrosion
Galvanizing Types
- Electro-Galvanized – smooth surface, uniform coating, cost-effective
- Hot-Dip Galvanized – thicker zinc coating, superior corrosion resistance
Zinc Coating Grades
- Light coating – for mild environments
- Medium coating – for moderate corrosion conditions
- Heavy coating – for severe environments (marine, offshore, mining)
Typical Rope Constructions
- 1×7, 1×19
- 6×7, 6×19, 6×19 + IWRC
- 7×7, 7×19, 7×37
- 6×36, 6W19
Lay Types
- Regular Lay (RHRL / LHRL)
- Lang Lay (RHLL / LHLL)
- Alternate / Mixed Lay
