Galvanized Welded Wire Meshes: including GAW(Galvanized after weld) welded wire meshes and GBW (Galvanized before weld) welded wire meshes. Actually,the two type mesh is different from raw material.
GAW welded wire meshes:
Galvanized After Welded - GAW - wire meshes and fences are strong and durable. These products are made by dipping previously welded mesh into a bath of molten zinc. The entire fence or mesh, including the welded areas, is thoroughly sealed and protected against rust and corrosion.
Advantages:Because it is covered with so much more zinc than GBW galvanized before welded wire fencing, it will last years longer. GAW welded meshes and fences are available in a wide variety of gauges and mesh sizes. These determine the final use of the product.
Application:Smaller meshes made with lighter gauge wires are ideal for making long lasting cages for small animals. The heavier gauges and meshes with larger openings make durable fences for animals. They have many uses around the home.
GBW welded wire meshes:
Disadvantage ; During the welding process, the galvanizing at the weld spots, where the wires intersect, is burned away. This leaves places in the mesh that have lost the galvanizing protection against rust and corrosion.
