Steel Wire & Coil Wire,Q195、Q235、45#、60#、65#、70#、SWRH42A、SWRH62A、SWRH72A、SWRH82B
1. Product Overview
Steel wire is one of the four major steel product categories including steel plates, steel pipes, steel sections and steel wires. It is processed from hot-rolled wire rods via pickling & phosphating, multi-pass cold drawing, heat treatment, surface coating and other precision manufacturing processes. Featuring wide adjustable strength range, modifiable toughness, good corrosion resistance and easy forming performance, it serves as an indispensable metal raw material for construction, machinery, bridges, mining, communications, agriculture, hardware and other industries.

4. Size Classification
Ultra-fine steel wire: Diameter <0.1mm, for textile and precision instruments
Fine steel wire: 0.1mm ~ 1.5mm, for filter mesh, springs and handicrafts
Medium steel wire: 1.5mm ~ 3.0mm, for binding wire, fencing mesh and tire bead
Thick steel wire: 3.0mm ~ 6.0mm, for prestressed engineering, wire rope manufacturing and greenhouse framework
Extra-thick steel wire: Diameter >6.0mm, for construction machinery and bridge stay cables
Diameter Tolerance: Standard tolerance ±0.02~±0.05mm; high-precision customization available up to ±0.01mm
5. Core Mechanical Properties
Tensile Strength: Low-carbon wire 380~800MPa; medium-carbon wire 800~1600MPa; high-carbon spring & prestressed wire 1600~3200MPa
Torsion Performance: High-carbon steel wire meets the minimum torsion cycles specified in national standards with no cracks or wire breakage
Bending Toughness: Capable of repeated bending around a mandrel with 3 to 10 times its own diameter without cracking
Coating Adhesion: Zinc/copper coated wire shows no peeling or coating shedding after 180° bending
6. Packing Methods
Large Coils: 50kg / 100kg / 500kg / 1000kg industrial coils wrapped with waterproof plastic film, standard for foreign trade
Spool Packing: 10~50kg wire spools for fine and precision spring wire to avoid tangling during unwinding
Small Bundled Rolls: 25kg small rolls packed with woven bags plus double-layer inner plastic film for moisture-proof
Export Reinforced Packing: Wooden pallets fastened with steel strips with full moisture-proof anti-rust treatment for sea transportation
7. Transportation, Storage & Operation Precautions
Store goods in dry and ventilated warehouses; avoid rain exposure and direct contact with damp ground to prevent surface oxidation and rust. Rewrap unused steel wire tightly after opening.
Handle with care during loading and unloading to prevent sharp bending and coating damage caused by violent impact.
Maintain uniform tension during unwinding to avoid tangling, twisting and damage to mechanical performance.
Regularly inspect zinc coating of outdoor galvanized products; prefer thick hot-dipped galvanized wire for coastal high-corrosion areas.
