Steel Wire & Bright Wire, Q195, Q215, Q235B, 45#, 60#, 65#, 70#, 75#
1. Product Overview
Steel wire is one of the core deep-processed products among the four major steel categories (plate, pipe, section and wire). It is manufactured from hot-rolled wire rods through multi-pass cold drawing, heat treatment and surface coating processes. Featuring high dimensional accuracy and controllable mechanical properties, it serves as a fundamental industrial material widely applied in construction, industry, agriculture, transportation and precision manufacturing fields.
Core Production Process
Hot-rolled wire rod raw material → Pickling, phosphating and lubrication → Multi-pass cold drawing and diameter reduction → Annealing / oil tempering heat treatment → Surface galvanizing / polishing / PVC coating → Coiling / spool winding → Inspection, packaging and delivery
Delivery Cycle: 5-7 days

5. Daily Hardware: Nail making, crafts, clothes hangers, wire mesh shelves
7. Storage, Transportation and Usage Notes
Storage: Store in dry and ventilated warehouses, avoid dampness and rain; keep galvanized wires away from acid and alkali chemicals. Reseal unused products with film to prevent oxidation and rust.
2. Transportation: Handle with care to avoid violent impact causing coating damage and wire deformation; reinforce pallets and adopt full moisture-proof packaging for sea freight.
3. Usage: Keep uniform tension during wire unwinding to avoid knotting and bending-induced stress fracture; avoid excessive cold bending of high-carbon hard wires to prevent cracking.
