Steel Wire & Steel Wire In Stock,ASTM A641、ASTM A227/A228、EN10270、JIS G3521、DIN17223
1. Product Overview
Carbon steel wire is manufactured from hot rolled wire rod via pickling & phosphating, multi-pass cold drawing, annealing and surface anti-corrosion treatment, only carbon & low alloy carbon steel are adopted without stainless steel. It is divided into four series by carbon content: low carbon wire, medium carbon wire, high carbon spring wire and high tensile prestressing wire. By surface finish, it includes black annealed wire, hard drawn wire, hot-dip galvanized wire, electro-galvanized wire and PVC coated wire. Round wire is mainstream, with flat, square and helical rib special-shaped wire as alternatives. It balances ductility, tensile strength and weldability, widely used in construction binding, wire mesh weaving, spring manufacturing, bridge prestressing, fence protection, hardware fasteners and steel wire rope raw materials.
