Wire Rod

1.Description:

Wire rod is a long steel semi-finished product manufactured by hot rolling billets on continuous rolling mills. It has a round cross-section and is wound up in coils.

Unlike other steel products, wire rod exhibits a significant commodity range variety; based on its chemical composition the following families of products and their differing corresponding uses can be identified:

• mild steel rod used to manufacture welded mesh and drawn rods (black, annealed, and coated)
• wire rod with medium or high carbon content used to manufacture drawn
• welding rod
• special steel rods used in hot and cold die-pressing, drawing, and extrusion.

2.Application of Carbon Steel Wire Rod:

Carbon steel wire rod is extensively used to manufacture many wire products, such as:

– Agricultural and commercial uses
– Bright wire for electrolytic zinc coating
– Normal for automatic nailing
– Barbed wire
– Chains
– Screws, nuts, and bolts
