As of today, Wanzhi Steel has successfully produced and delivered 60 tons of brass wire and brass-coated steel wire to a South African customer on schedule. This customer, facing insufficient local raw material supply and high costs, urgently needed a stable brass wire supplier. Now, after receiving the goods, the customer has reported excellent quality and expressed a strong intention to place repeat orders. Details of this cooperation are below.

I. Client Background
This client is a leading cable manufacturer in the Johannesburg area of South Africa, specializing in power and communication cables. They needed this product to manufacture brass netting, brass cables, and ropes. They found our company through Google searches for “high-quality copper coated steel wire supplier” and “copper coated steel wire for cable.” After three rounds of online negotiations and sample testing, a final order for 60 tons of brass wire was placed. Initially, they had doubts about the copper coating adhesion and conductivity of the product. We then sent a 1kg sample and provided a salt spray test report. After testing, the client approved the quality, and finally confirmed the order details via WhatsApp and email.
II. Order Details
1. Product Model: Brass Wire(Copper-zinc alloy wire), brass coated steel wire.

III. Production Process
1. Brass Coated Steel Wire Production Process:
Steel core raw material → Steel core drawing (to target diameter) → Brass plating (hot-dip galvanizing/electroplating) → Annealing (stress relief) → Finishing and inspection → Bundled packaging → Finished product.
2. Brass Wire Production Process:
Copper-zinc raw material → Batching and casting (melting into alloy billet) → Hot rolling → Cold drawing (to target wire diameter) → Annealing (improving ductility) → Finishing and inspection → Coil/bundled packaging → Finished product.
IV. Quality Inspection
The entire process adheres to the ISO 9001 quality control standard: each batch is sampled for conductivity testing and tensile testing, with tensile strength consistently around 2600MPa; no rust is observed after 48 hours of salt spray testing.

V. Packaging and Shipping
The customer specified two packaging methods: one was BP60 type plastic reel packaging with film protection, 10 rolls per pallet, totaling 100 pallets; the other was woven bag packaging. The goods were shipped to the Port of Johannesburg via container sea freight, with full tracking of logistics information, and were ultimately delivered 2 days ahead of schedule.

Ⅵ. Product Overview
1. What is brass wire? What is brass wire used for?
Brass wire is an alloy wire with copper and zinc as its main components (usually containing 60%-70% copper). It combines the electrical and thermal conductivity of copper with the hardness of zinc. Suitable for industries such as power, communications, and manufacturing.
2. What is brass-coated steel wire? What is it used for?
Brass-coated steel wire is a composite metal wire with a low-carbon steel base and a brass layer applied through electroplating or hot-dip immersion. It combines the high tensile strength of steel with the electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance of brass; its price is lower than that of pure brass wire. It is used in cables, fasteners, and metal wire mesh.

Ⅶ. Should I choose brass wire or brass-coated steel wire?
1. Choosing brass-coated steel wire: Prioritizes cost, high tensile strength, and corrosion resistance; suitable for marine wire mesh, cable cores, and heavy-duty fasteners.
2. Choosing brass wire:
Choosing brass-plated steel wire: Prioritizes cost, high tensile strength, and corrosion resistance; suitable for marine wire mesh, cable cores, and heavy-duty fasteners.
Choosing brass wire: Prioritizes electrical conductivity and thermal properties; suitable for projects with sufficient budget; applicable to electronic components, wires, and decorative applications.
