1×37 Galvanized Steel Strand
Galvanized steel strands, also called galvanized stranded wires, which are twisted together by several galvanized steel wires. Among different steel wire strands, 1 × 3, 1 × 7, 1 × 19 galvanized stranded wire are the most popular. Because they are made by means of wire drawing followed by hot-dipped galvanizing or electrical galvanizing, the surface of the strands has a layer of zinc. Therefore, the strands have extremely excellent nature, such as excellent abrasion resistance, high tensile strength and corrosion resistance.

Applications
Galvanized Steel Strand has a long history of service to the power transmission industry, the pre-engineering building industry, the construction industry, fishing industry, municipalities and cable structures, etc.
- Power transmission industry: messenger wires, guy wires, core wires, earth wires, telecommunication cables, barrier cable, etc.
- Construction industry: high-rise and other commercial structures, multi-level parking garages, structure cables, etc.
- Road and bridge structures: highway and railway viaducts, suspension bridges and cable-stayed bridges, express way fencing, etc.
Precautions
- Surface protection: no folding marks, no scratches, no defects such as broken, crushed, and hard to bend.
- The surface of galvanized steel strand should keep away from oil, dirt, water and other impurities.
- The ribs on strand surface should be consecutive, no crack and spalling phenomena.
