FAQs

1. What is the melting point of this zinc wire?

The melting point of this 99.95% pure zinc wire is approximately 419.5°C, consistent with high-purity zinc.

2. Can this wire be used in saltwater environments?

While zinc has natural corrosion resistance, prolonged exposure to saltwater may accelerate degradation. For marine applications, consider additional protective coatings.

3. What is the tensile strength of this zinc wire?

The tensile strength typically ranges between 100-150 MPa for pure zinc wire of this diameter, though exact values may vary slightly based on production batch.

4. How should this wire be stored to maintain its purity?

Store in a cool, dry environment in its original packaging. Keep away from acids, alkalis, and other corrosive substances to prevent surface oxidation.

5. What alternatives exist for higher temperature applications?

For applications requiring higher temperature resistance, consider tungsten or molybdenum wires, though these offer different electrical and chemical properties.
