Description

The supporting elements of bridges and other constructions require wires which are adapted in their characteristics to the requirements of those constructions. In the case of bridge building, according to the type of bridge – suspension bridge or cable stayed bridge – cables of different constructions are used and these are adapted to the wire specifications. The application of zinc coated (galvanized) wires is a decisive improvement regarding the corrosion protection of the wires and bundles. The galvanizing procedure used assures that no hydrogen embrittlement of the wires occurs during the galvanizing.
