Galvanized steel wire rope is a commonly used steel wire rope, which has some inherent advantages and disadvantages. Let's introduce it in detail below:

advantage:

1. Strong corrosion resistance

Due to the zinc plating treatment on the surface of the galvanized steel wire rope, it enhances the corrosion resistance of the steel wire rope, can better withstand corrosion erosion such as chemical substances, and extends the service life of the steel wire rope. Therefore, galvanized steel wire ropes are commonly used in harsh environments such as marine environments and offshore sewage treatment plants.

2. Excellent tensile performance

After adding zinc coating, the strength and tensile properties of the steel wire rope are improved, and its bearing capacity is significantly enhanced. Therefore, this type of steel wire rope is widely used in important industrial fields such as lifting and support, and can withstand most heavy objects.

3. Stable physical performance

Unlike stainless steel wire rope, galvanized wire rope has a relatively simple manufacturing process and composition. Therefore, in normal use environments, the physical properties of steel wire ropes are relatively stable and their service life is relatively long.

4. Affordable price

The production process of galvanized steel wire rope material is relatively simple and the cost is relatively low, making its price relatively affordable. Therefore, galvanized steel wire rope is widely used in some low-cost and high-efficiency production fields.

Disadvantages:

1. Not suitable for high temperature environments

Due to the fact that the surface layer of the galvanized steel wire rope is pure zinc plated, when the temperature is higher than 200 ℃, the zinc coating and the steel wire material will form an oxide reaction, resulting in the loss of protective coating on the surface of the steel wire rope. Therefore, galvanized steel wire ropes are not suitable for applications in high-temperature environments.

2. The surface is easily damaged

Due to the insufficient hardness of the galvanized layer on the surface of the steel wire rope, it is prone to external friction damage, shortening its service life.

3. Easy to rust

"Steel wire ropes have been used for a long time, and the zinc coating on the surface is prone to cracking and damage, sometimes even scratching the metal surface of the steel wire, which can cause corrosion of the steel wire rope and further affect its service life.".

4. It is difficult to detect slight corrosion

When galvanized steel wire rope encounters slight corrosion, its mechanical properties decrease, but there is no significant change in the surface, which is difficult to detect. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly inspect the steel wire rope to discover and solve problems in a timely manner.

In summary, galvanized steel wire rope as an industrial material has certain advantages and disadvantages. In practical applications, it is very important to select appropriate steel wire rope materials based on specific scenarios and usage requirements.
