The use of Galfan wire for ropes is growing throughout the world because of its longer life due to the unique corrosion mechanism, which is confirmed through Equilibrium Rest Potential tests in SO and NaCl solutions. New devlopments show Galfan wire used successfully for some products that have been unsuccessful using regular galvanizing, such as nails for automatic nailing machines and welded wire mesh. The paper discusses the evaluations and mechanisms that explain these features.
