Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A use of a carbon steel wire for electric fencing lines, said carbon steel wire having a corrosion resistant coating, wherein the carbon content of said carbon steel wire is below 0.20 wt % and said corrosion resistant coating is zinc aluminum alloy or zinc aluminum magnesium alloy coating with a coating weight in the range of 30 to 100 g/m 2 .

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An electric fencing line, comprising one or more carbon steel wires incorporated in a plastic material, said one or more carbon steel wire having a corrosion resistant coating, wherein the carbon content of said carbon steel wire is below 0.20 wt % and said corrosion resistant coating is zinc aluminium alloy or zinc aluminium magnesium alloy coating with a coating weight in the range of 30 to 100 g/m 2 . 2. An electric fencing line as in claim 1 , wherein said electric fencing line is in a form of a tape, a rope, a strand or a plaited braid. 3. An electric fencing line as in claim 1 , wherein said electric fencing line is an electric fencing tape made by plaiting, knitting or weaving said one or more carbon steel wires into non-conducting plastic filaments. 4. An electric fencing line as in claim 3 , wherein said non-conducting plastic filaments are plurality of warp filaments and weft filaments made of polyethylene, polyamide, polyester, polypropylene or other plastic materials. 5. An electric fencing line as in claim 1 , wherein said electric fencing line further comprises one or more copper wires being incorporated in the plastic material. 6. An electric fencing line as in claim 1 , wherein said zinc aluminium alloy or zinc aluminium magnesium alloy coating has an aluminium content in the range of 3 to 20 wt %. 7. An electric fencing line as in claim 6 , wherein the aluminium content of said zinc aluminium alloy or zinc aluminium magnesium alloy coating is 5 wt % or 10 wt %. 8. An electric fencing line as in claim 1 , wherein said zinc aluminium magnesium alloy coating has a magnesium content in the range of 0.1 to 5 wt %. 9. An electric fencing line as in claim 1 , wherein said carbon steel wire has a carbon content of below 0.05 wt %. 10. An electric fencing line as in claim 1 , wherein said zinc aluminium alloy or zinc aluminium magnesium alloy coating has a coating weight in the range of 40 to 60 g/m 2 . 11. An electric fencing line as in claim 1 , wherein said carbon steel wire has a diameter in the range of 0.1 to 1.0 mm. 12. An electric fencing line as in claim 1 , wherein said carbon steel wire is a redrawn wire. 13. An electric fencing line as in claim 1 , wherein said carbon steel wire has a tensile strength in the range of 900 to 1250 N/mm 2 . 14. An electric fencing line as in claim 1 , wherein the specific electrical resistance of said carbon steel wire is in the range of 4×10 -8 to 5.0×10 -7 Ω·m.
