What is GI Mesh?
GI Mesh (Galvanized Iron Mesh) is a wire mesh manufactured from steel or iron wires that are coated with a protective layer of zinc through a galvanization process. This zinc coating acts as a barrier against corrosion, rust, and environmental wear, significantly extending the service life of the mesh.
GI mesh is widely used across industrial and commercial sectors due to its strength, durability, and cost-effectiveness, especially in applications where moderate corrosion resistance is required.
Manufacturing Process of GI Mesh
GI mesh is produced by weaving or welding galvanized wires into a uniform and precise grid pattern. Depending on application requirements, the mesh can be manufactured using different galvanization methods:
- Hot-Dip Galvanized Mesh
The steel wire is coated in molten zinc, creating a thicker and more durable protective layer. This process provides enhanced corrosion resistance and is suitable for outdoor and heavy-duty applications. - Electro-Galvanized Mesh
Zinc is applied through an electroplating process, resulting in a smoother surface finish. This type is commonly used for indoor or controlled environments.
Key Features of GI Mesh
- Excellent resistance to rust and corrosion
- High mechanical strength and load-bearing capability
- Uniform mesh openings for consistent performance
- Durable construction with long service life
- Economical alternative to stainless steel mesh
- Suitable for fabrication, cutting, and forming
