Abstract
Steel wire is coated with a metal layer such that the metal layer has a surface with roughnesses. A surface roughness Ra of above 0.25 μm is reached. Preferably, the roughnesses are randomly dispersed at the surface. The result is an improved visual aspect and an increased resistance against corrosion.
