Wires are often galvanized to protect their surfaces from deterioration through exposure to moisture or oxygen. The surface of a steel wire is first cleaned with an acid and then fed through molten copper or zinc in a process known as galvanizing. Through this process protects the wire, it makes it more difficult for the wires to be connected, as zinc and copper have lower melting temperatures, making them vulnerable in traditional methods of welding. Low-temperature soldering can be used to successfully connect galvanized wire without damaging it. Galvanized Wire is always used in the industrial field for storage basket, metal container and so on.

Instructions

1 Heat your soldering iron.

2 Clean the iron tip with a moist cloth to remove any contaminants and ensure that a uniform temperature will be delivered.

3 Preheat the parts to be joined with a small amount of solder.

4 Solder the two portions of the wire together, making sure that you don't touch the soldering iron to the galvanized wire for extended periods of time.

5 Check the connected wire to ensure that damage has not been done to the coating and that a successful connection has been made.
