1. Product Definition & Overview
Steel wire is a precision cold-drawn metal wire product processed from high-quality wire rods through pickling, phosphating, multi-pass drawing, annealing and surface coating. Featuring accurate dimension, uniform toughness, stable tensile strength and excellent plasticity, it can be bent, cut, welded, woven and stamped freely. As a general basic steel material, it is widely used in hardware, construction, industry, agriculture and precision manufacturing. It is classified into low-carbon mild wire, high-carbon hard wire, galvanized steel wire, stainless steel wire and spring steel wire for binding, mesh weaving, spring production, rope making, prestress and anti-corrosion protection.

3. Product Classification
3.1 By Carbon Content
（1）Low Carbon Mild Steel Wire
Material: Q195/Q235/SAE1006/SAE1008. High ductility, soft and flexible, easy bending and welding. Widely used for construction binding, garden tying, wire mesh weaving and hardware crafts.
（2）Medium & High Carbon Hard Wire
High carbon content with high tensile strength, high hardness and excellent elasticity. Applied for springs, screen meshes, steel strands, wire ropes and mechanical parts.
（3）Stainless Steel Wire
Grades: 201, 304, 316, 316L. Anti-corrosion, rust-proof and high-temperature resistant, suitable for chemical, marine, filter mesh and medical applications.
3.2 By Surface Treatment
（1）Black Wire / Bright Wire
No coating, low cost, ideal for indoor binding and dry-environment mesh production.
（2）Hot-Dip Galvanized Wire
Thick zinc coating with strong adhesion and superior anti-corrosion performance for outdoor, water conservancy, fence and marine projects.
（3）Electro-Galvanized Wire
Smooth bright surface with uniform thin zinc layer, suitable for crafts and fine mesh products.
（4）PVC Coated Wire
PVC outer coating for acid & alkali resistance, widely used for sports fences, garden protection and breeding nets.
3.3 By Application
Binding Wire: Construction binding, packaging and manual tying
Weaving Wire: Special for welded mesh, grid mesh, protective mesh and filter mesh
Spring Wire: Industrial springs, spring sheets and elastic parts
Rope Wire: Core material for twisting wire ropes and steel strands
Prestressed Wire: Used for bridges, pipe piles and concrete prestressed engineering
Anti-Corrosion Wire: Coastal, water conservancy and long-term outdoor protection projects
4. Specification Range
Diameter Range: 0.2mm – 12.0mm (full sizes in stock)
Common Sizes: 0.3mm, 0.5mm, 0.8mm, 1.0mm, 1.2mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.0mm, 4.0mm, 5.0mm, 6.0mm
Delivery Form: Large spool packing, small coil packing, straight cut bars, customized fixed-length processing
Tolerance Standard: High-precision national standard negative tolerance, uniform diameter without thickness deviation
Surface Quality: Smooth and clean surface, no cracks, no peeling, no broken wires, no scars; uniform coating without peeling or falling off
5. Core Mechanical Properties
5.1 Low Carbon Mild Wire (Binding / Weaving)
Tensile strength: 300–500MPa; high elongation rate, no fracture after repeated bending, excellent flexibility for manual and mechanical processing.
5.2 High Carbon Hard Wire (Spring / Industrial Use)
Tensile strength: 1200–2300MPa; high hardness, stable elasticity and resilience, excellent fatigue resistance and deformation resistance.
5.3 Galvanized Anti-Corrosion Wire
Zinc coating adhesion meets national standards; no zinc peeling or delamination after bending and twisting, with far better salt spray corrosion resistance than ordinary black wire.
6. Production Process
Black Wire Process: High-quality wire rod incoming → Pickling and descaling → Phosphating and lubrication → Multi-pass cold drawing → Continuous annealing tempering → Finishing and winding → Dimension inspection and sorting → Packaging and warehousing
Galvanized Wire Process: Precision drawn wire → Surface activation treatment → Hot-dip / electro galvanizing → Surface finishing → Coating inspection → Anti-corrosion curing → Coil packaging
Wire rod raw material → Pickling & Descaling → Phosphating & Lubrication → Multi-pass cold drawing → Continuous annealing → Finishing & spooling → Inspection & packaging. Galvanized wires undergo additional surface activation and hot-dip/electro galvanizing for anti-corrosion treatment.

Wire Mesh Industry: Welded mesh, crimped mesh, protective mesh, filter mesh, breeding mesh and fence mesh weaving
Hardware Products: Springs, hooks, buckles, iron crafts and stamping parts
Traffic Protection: Road guardrails, sports field fences, slope protection and isolation barriers
Water Conservancy & Marine Engineering: River protection, seawall fences, flood control nets and corrosion-resistant rope frameworks
Agriculture & Landscape: Fruit tree binding, greenhouse fixing, farm fencing and livestock protection
Prestressed Engineering: Prestressed wire materials for bridges, pipe piles and elevated infrastructure
9. Selection & Usage Guidelines
Black wire / bright cold-drawn wire is the most cost-effective for indoor dry and short-term binding projects.
Hot-dip galvanized wire is mandatory for outdoor exposed, humid and long-term protection scenarios to prevent rust and aging.
Electro-galvanized wire or PVC coated wire is preferred for high-appearance fine mesh and craft products.
High-carbon spring steel wire must be used for elastic parts and load-bearing structures; soft low-carbon wire is not allowed for substitution.
Stainless steel wire or thick hot-dip galvanized wire shall be adopted for marine and acid-base corrosive working conditions.
Store in dry and ventilated environment with moisture and rain protection to avoid surface oxidation and discoloration caused by long-term humidity.
10. Packaging, Quality & Customization
10.1 Standard Packaging
Packed in small coils and large spools with double-layer protection of plastic film and woven bags; end protection prevents collision and deformation with tight and firm bundling. Export orders adopt professional moisture-proof, rust-proof and rain-proof marine packaging suitable for long-distance ocean transportation.
10.2 Quality Documents
Original material certificates, mechanical performance reports, dimension inspection reports and factory qualification certificates are available. SGS and BV third-party inspection is supported to meet domestic project acceptance and foreign export customs clearance requirements.
10.3 Custom Services
Support non-standard diameter customization, fixed-length straight cutting, special zinc coating thickness, hardness adjustment, PVC coating processing and precision polishing. Custom wire parameters can be tailored according to customers’ equipment and production processes.
