Dip galvanized steel wire strand or hot-dipped galvanized steel wire can be used for cable armoring. The galvanization process involves coating the steel wire with a layer of zinc, which provides excellent corrosion resistance and makes it suitable for outdoor applications. Galvanized steel wire is often used for armoring power cables, control cables, and communication cables. The wire is typically twisted together to form a strand, which is then wrapped around the cable core to provide mechanical protection.
