Steel wire rod is a versatile material used across various industries. Carbon steel wire rod in the low carbon category is commonly known as soft wire, while medium and high carbon varieties are referred to as hard wire. It is primarily used as a drawing blank but also finds direct application as building materials and machine parts.

Our hot-rolled low carbon steel wire rods follow ASTM A510/A510M standards, featuring materials like SAE1006 and SAE1008-SAE1022. Available diameters range from 5.5mm to 19mm. In construction, these are often referred to as "discs" or "coils" because bars under 10mm are rolled into rings for easier transport.

The allowable deviation of the steel wire diameter (6-10mm) is ±0.40mm, with out-of-roundness deviation ≤0.50mm. The surface must be free from cracks or folds. Minor indentations, bumps, or scratches are permitted if they do not exceed 0.2mm. High-strength prestressed steel wire offers high tensile strength, excellent plasticity, and low relaxation, making it ideal for bridges, nuclear power plants, and high-rise buildings.

Wire rods must be straightened and cut using specialized machinery before use. This process also removes oxidized scales and improves strength through controlled bending and stretching. They are widely used for "brick reinforcement" in brick-concrete structures and for creating steel bar sleeves.
