Material Properties & Applications
At Yujun, we offer razor wire made of different materials for a wide range of applications. How to choose the right razor wire for your working environments? Essentially, it largely depends on the chemical and physical properties of the material for razor wire. Here, we briefly introduce the properties of the material we offer for your reference to help you choose the right materials for razor wire quickly.
It is widely used in residential communities, industrial and mining enterprises, garden apartments, border posts, military areas, prisons, detention houses, government buildings and other national security installations in both rural and urban areas.
Hot dip galvanizing is a process of immersing steel in a batch of molten zinc under high temperatures for surface treatment. In this process, a zinc coating is coated on the steel as a barrier between the steel and the environment to improve the corrosion resistance of the barbed wire and extend its lifespan.
For example, if the zinc content is up to 270 g/m2 and the thickness of zinc coating is up to 38 μm;
Its lifespan is up to 18 years when working under urban industrial atmospheric environment (C3) and it works as long as 5 years even when working under harsh costal corrosive environments (C5).
Note: The lifespan of razor wire is calculated according to the coating thickness and corresponding consumed thickness as specified in ISO 12944-2.
It is widely used in military strongholds, prisons, detention houses, drug rehabilitation centers, labor camps, nuclear power stations, government agencies, garden apartments, high-grade community fences, private homes, villa fences and border lines for confinement and protection.
Stainless steel offers excellent corrosion and heat resistance because of the addition of Chromium and nickel. 314 stainless steel offers great corrosion resistance in dry working environments and 316 stainless steel with molybdenum delivers enhanced atmosphere corrosion resistance, especially the corrosion of atmosphere with chloride. Therefore, 316 stainless steel is suitable for contaminated and corrosive industrial areas and coastal areas.
Stainless steel razor wire enjoys a service life of 10-40 years and offers better aesthetics and a high price.
Generally, it is widely used in nuclear power plants, nonferrous metal smelters, steel mills, oil refineries, printing & dyeing mills, chemical and pharmaceutical plants, fine chemical plants built in harsh, polluting and corrosive environments and places with high requirements for aesthetics and service life.
Hot dip aluminum-zinc plating is a process of coating cold-rolled steel plates with a layer of Al-Zn coating with a composition of about 55% Al, 1.6% Si and 43.4% Zn by weight on both sides. It combines the physical protection performance and exceptional durability of aluminum and electrochemical protection performance of zinc. In addition, hot dip aluminum-zinc plate has a bright sliver-gray surface with regular patterns, offering an aesthetically pleasing feeling.
It costs much higher than razor wire made of other materials, however, it enjoys a service life of up to 50 years without rusting.
