Wire Partitioning and Phosphating

Welded Wire Partitions

Welded wire partitions are an attractive option for storing and protecting inventory because they offer strength and durability at an affordable price. Its all-welded construction makes it resistant to physcial damage and helps maintain its shape. To ensure the quality of their product, Major Partitions uses phosphate-treated carbon steel to give longevity to their wire partitioning system.

Carbon steel is widely used in wire partitioning manufacturing because of its strength, ease of fabrication, and cost. It also malleable and more manageable to weld. However, low carbon steel has properties similar to iron. And like iron, it has a poor resistance to corrosion. It can easily rust unless it is given some kind of protective coating.

A protective pre-treatment called phosphating gives carbon steel corrosion-resistant properties. The process involves applying layers of phosphate crystals that bond tightly to the steel, which causes the steel surface to integrate itself as part of a highly insoluble film that inhibits corrosion. The highly porous film allows additional materials (such as paint) to seep into the phosphate coating and become mechanically interlocked after drying.

The main types of phosphate coatings are manganese, iron and zinc. For wire partitioning,
iron phosphates are typically used as a base for further coatings. It's usually applied by immersion or by spraying.

Steel Wire Partitions

Iron phosphating carbon steel wire partitions give it ten times more resistance to rust than bare degreased steel, and 50% better adhesion to paint. The increased paint adhesion reduces the damage caused by bumps and handling, preventing the paint from blistering, chipping or flaking after it is baked.

This special combination of chemical and physical properties produces a strong, rigid, anti-corrosive material that Major Partitions can rely on.
