Why Garrison Fencing Uses Stainless Steel Wire Welding or Silicon Bronze Welding

In the fabrication of garrison fencing, the choice of welding method and filler material is crucial to ensure the fence’s structural integrity, durability, and corrosion resistance. Two commonly used welding materials are stainless steel wire and silicon bronze wire. Both have specific advantages, especially when working with galvanized steel, which is the standard material for garrison fencing due to its corrosion-resistant properties.

Challenges with Welding Galvanized Steel

Before diving into why we use these materials, it’s important to understand the challenges that come with welding galvanized steel:

1. Zinc Coating Vaporization: The zinc coating on galvanized steel can vaporize at high temperatures during welding, leading to the loss of corrosion protection around the weld area and producing toxic fumes harmful to welders.
2. Weld Quality: The presence of zinc can lead to porosity and inclusions in the weld, compromising its strength and integrity.
3. Heat Distortion: High heat input can cause warping or distortion of steel components, affecting the fence’s appearance and structural alignment.

Advantages of Silicon Bronze Welding

Silicon bronze welding involves using a copper-based filler wire containing silicon. This method is often referred to as MIG brazing.

1. Lower Melting Point

• Reduced Heat Input: Silicon bronze melts at a lower temperature (~980°C) compared to steel (~1500°C). This means less heat is required, minimizing the risk of distorting the steel and preserving the zinc coating.

2. Preservation of Zinc Coating

• Minimal Zinc Burn-off: Lower welding temperatures reduce the vaporization of the zinc coating, maintaining corrosion resistance near the welds.

3. Corrosion Resistance

• Enhanced Protection: Silicon bronze is highly resistant to corrosion, adding an extra layer of protection to the welded joints.

4. Aesthetic Appeal

• Clean Welds: Produces smooth and visually appealing welds with minimal spatter, which is beneficial for fences where appearance is important.

Advantages of Stainless Steel Wire Welding

Stainless steel wire welding uses stainless steel filler material in the welding process.

1. High Strength and Durability

• Robust Welds: Stainless steel provides strong, durable welds capable of withstanding mechanical stresses.

2. Corrosion Resistance

• Resilient Joints: Stainless steel is inherently corrosion-resistant, ensuring the weld joints remain rust-free even if the zinc coating is compromised during welding.

3. Compatibility with Galvanized Steel

• Effective Joining: With proper technique, stainless steel wire can effectively weld galvanized steel, although managing the different properties of the metals requires care.

Why These Methods are Preferred

Minimizing Damage to Zinc Coating

• Silicon Bronze: Its lower heat input means less zinc vaporization, preserving the galvanized coating’s integrity.
• Stainless Steel: While it operates at higher temperatures than silicon bronze, experienced welders can minimize zinc damage through controlled techniques.

Reducing Health Hazards

• Fewer Toxic Fumes: Less zinc vaporization means fewer harmful fumes, creating a safer working environment for welders.

Improving Weld Quality

• Silicon Bronze: Produces cleaner welds with less porosity.
• Stainless Steel: Offers strong, reliable welds when done correctly.

Applications in Garrison Fencing

• Silicon Bronze Welding is ideal when:
  • Preservation of the zinc coating is a priority.
  • Working with thinner steel sections prone to heat distortion.
  • A high-quality aesthetic finish is desired.
• Stainless Steel Wire Welding is suitable when:
  • Additional strength at the weld joint is required.
  • The added corrosion resistance of stainless steel is beneficial.
  • Welding thicker steel components where heat distortion is less of a concern.

Welding way of garrion fencing

Our garrison fencing offers two primary construction methods to suit different needs and preferences: face-welded and punched rails with welded pales. Both options provide excellent strength and durability, but each has distinct benefits, depending on the application and aesthetic requirements.

Face welded	Punched Rails welded

Face-Welded Garrison Fencing

In face-welded garrison fencing, the upright pales are directly welded to the front face of the horizontal rails. This method provides a seamless and sleek look, with the welding beads located on the front and back of the fence for added strength.

• Strength & Stability: Face-welding offers increased rigidity, as each pale is directly welded onto the rails, creating a solid structure that resists impact and pressure.
• Sleek Aesthetic: The face-welded design gives the fence a smooth, uninterrupted appearance, making it a popular choice for applications where aesthetics are important, such as commercial properties, parks, and residential areas.
• Corrosion Resistance: When combined with hot-dip galvanization, face-welded garrison fencing offers superior protection against rust and corrosion, ensuring the fence remains strong and visually appealing over time.

Punched Rails with Welded Pales

In this design, the horizontal rails are punched with evenly spaced holes through which the upright pales are inserted before being welded in place. This construction method creates a more integrated connection between the rails and pales.

• Enhanced Durability: By punching holes in the rails and inserting the pales, this method ensures a strong mechanical connection. The welded pales provide additional strength, making this type of garrison fencing ideal for high-security applications where increased robustness is required.
• Neater Appearance: The welded joints in this design are often less visible, providing a cleaner and more refined finish. This makes it suitable for locations where both security and appearance are critical, such as schools, government buildings, and industrial sites.
• Customization Options: With punched rails, it is easier to accommodate different spacing and pale sizes, allowing more flexibility in design. This can be particularly useful for projects requiring specific spacing for security or aesthetic purposes.

Benefits of Both Types of Garrison Fencing

Regardless of whether you choose face-welded or punched rails with welded pales, both types of garrison fencing share common benefits:

• Security: Both options provide a high level of security due to the strength of their construction and the spacing of the pales, which makes it difficult to climb or breach.
• Customization: Available in various heights, widths, and pale thicknesses, you can customize either type to meet your specific needs. Additionally, both methods are compatible with powder coating or hot-dip galvanization, ensuring longevity and resistance to weather.
• Low Maintenance: With durable finishes and sturdy construction, both face-welded and punched rail garrison fences require minimal maintenance, even in harsh environments.

Applications

• Face-Welded Garrison Fencing: Ideal for residential areas, commercial properties, public parks, and schools where a clean, modern appearance is desired along with solid security.
