⚙️ Material composition and structural form：
- Steel Wire Substrate
Low carbon steel wire or high-strength steel wire is used, and it is coated with a high alumina (zinc aluminum alloy) anti-corrosion treatment. - Common standards: ASTM A856/EN 10244-2
- Coating composition:
- Zinc (Zn) Content 20-600 grams per square meter
- 5% Aluminum Or 10% aluminum
- Contains a small amount of rare earth elements (RE) to enhance adhesion and corrosion resistance.
- Weaving Form
- Twisted hexagonal mesh(commonly found in gabion mesh and cushion structures)
- Welded mesh format(used for decorative or structurally stronger gabion walls)
- Common specifications
- Mesh size: Hexagonal woven mesh often for60 × 80mm, 80 × 100mm, 100 × 120mm. welded mesh is 50 × 50 mm, 75 × 75 mm, etc.
- Steel wire diameter: 2.0mm -4.0mm
- Coating thickness: 230-300 g/m ² (according to standards)
- Dimensions: 2 × 1 × 1m, 3 × 1 × 1m, 2 × 1 × 0.5m, etc., customizable
🧩 Main performance and advantages
| performance | Galfan coated gabion | Ordinary galvanized gabion |
|---|---|---|
| Anti corrosion performance | 3-5 times that of regular galvanizing | Easy to oxidize and rust |
| Service life | Over 50 years (in a neutral environment) | 10-20 years |
| Adhesion | The coating is firmly bonded to the steel wire and is not easily peeled off | Easy to peel off |
| Ductility and toughness | Excellent, with good fracture resistance | average |
| Salt spray resistance | Over 1000 hours | About 72 hours |
| Wear resistance and weather resistance | Excellent, suitable for various climates | average |
🔩 Extension type
| type | coating | feature |
|---|---|---|
| Galfan | Zn-5% Al alloy | High anti-corrosion performance, suitable for neutral and lightly corrosive environments |
| Zinc -10% Aluminum Alloy Gabion | Zn-10% Al alloy | Stronger anti-corrosion performance, suitable for coastal or high humidity areas |
| Galfan +PVC Gebin | Zn Al alloy+PVC coating | Double protection, anti-corrosion life can reach more than 70 years |

🧠 Main Features
- Super anti-corrosion: Galfan coating can form a dense "zinc aluminum composite protective film" on the surface, which has the ability to "self repair" even if scratched.
- High ductility: Can withstand significant deformation and impact, and is not easily broken. Very suitable for areas with complex terrain and large stress changes.
- Good environmental protection and permeability: The internal voids of the gabion structure are numerous, with good permeability and ecological properties, which are beneficial for vegetation growth and ecological restoration.
- Adapt to harsh environments: Suitable for coastal areas, polluted soil, and embankments with perennial water accumulation.
- Longer service life: Although the initial cost is slightly higher, the service life is longer and the overall economy is better.
