Galvanized wire is much more resistant to rust than annealed wire. Some applications require enhanced resistance to weather damage. If the wire for your application will be out in the elements, annealed wire might not be the best choice.
To make galvanized wire it is put through the hot-dip process. First, the manufacturer manufactures the steel wire to the correct gauge and thickness. Then, they clean it in an acid bath to eliminate surface oxides. After rinsing and drying the wire, the manufacturer dips it into a bath of molten zinc, completely coating it in a thin layer of the metal. The manufacturer controls the zinc's thickness. A sequence of waterfalls cools the wire and its coating.
Galvanized zinc coating provides some unique benefits:
1) Rust prevention: Galvanized wire is highly resistant to rust because of the protective zinc coating that keeps moisture away from the steel beneath.
2) Damage resistance: A galvanized coating is solid and robust, protecting the wire from chipping, scratching and cutting.
3) Fire resistance: The zinc coating's melting point is exceptionally high, making galvanized wire resistant to melting in a fire.
