Carbon and non -alloy steel wire with galvanized coating as a cable metal shield (Armor):

The wires used in Armor cables are used as a metal coating to protect the cable from mechanical damage. The features of these wires are:

High corrosion resistance

High -resilientability due to proper flexibility.

The following figure shows how these wires are used in cable:

Underground cables, high -pressure submarines and telecommunication cables:

PVC -coated cables are used as armor -coated non -alloy steel wires due to their good and good flexibility in the cable industry.

These wires are also used because of their good formatability and high galvanized coating as well as corrosion resistance for other applications other than cables, such as greenhouses.
