Soft Black Iron Wire
Soft black iron wire is made from annealed and drawn low-carbon steel. It features a deep black oxide film on the surface, good ductility, and ease of bending, all at a low cost. Because it’s soft and easy to paint, it’s commonly used in construction, lashings, gardening, and hardware processing. As a wholesaler of soft black iron wire, Wanzhi Steel has stock in 6 gauge – 24 gauge diameter black iron wire. If you’re interested, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.

What Is Soft Black Iron Wire?
Soft black iron wire is another name for black annealed wire. The core process is annealing low-carbon steel wire. Annealing is a heat treatment process designed to change the wire’s microstructure, releasing internal stresses, increasing flexibility, and reducing elasticity. The black surface is iron oxide, which has some rust resistance. It can be galvanized for increased rust resistance for outdoor use.

Main Features
1. Highly flexible & ductile
Easy to bend and twist manually, even bending 180° without breaking, requiring no specialized tools. Its plasticity prevents springback, ensuring the durability of cable ties and hand-shaped designs.
2. Affordable
Since it requires no surface treatment such as galvanizing or painting, its cost is lower than that of zinc-coated and PVC-coated steel wire. The surface oxide film is also easy to apply.
3. Meets basic strength standards
Retaining the basic strength of mild steel, it can withstand a certain amount of tension and weight, making it ideal for non-load-bearing applications.

Main Applications
1. Daily tying & gardening
Used for bundling cartons, plastic bottles, newspapers, hay, as well as simple household clothesline wire, hooks, tying flower branches, and assisting in fixing pillars, poles, trellises, etc.
2. Building and bundling
Black tying wire is commonly used in concrete engineering to tie rebar, pipes, and building materials. It can also be used to secure filter screens, scaffolding, and simple panels, and to make mesh sheets and wire mesh rolls.
3. Crafts and Fencing
Soft black iron wire for crafts is used for weaving ornaments, decorative frames, baskets, moldings, and sculpture supports. It is also used in the production of isolation fences such as chain link fences, crimped wire mesh, and hinged fences.

FAQ
Q1: What is the difference between bright annealed wire and black annealed wire?
A: The main difference lies in the surface treatment during the annealing process and the final appearance:
- Bright Annealed: Annealed in an inert atmosphere to prevent surface oxidation, so the finished product retains the metal’s original bright appearance.
- Black Annealed:Annealing in a furnace containing air causes the surface to be oxidized to produce dark oxide, making it dull and appearing black.
Q2: Can this wire be used for outdoor fencing?
A: Although it can be used, we do not recommend it for long-term outdoor use because it has no protective coating and will rust outdoors. We recommend galvanized iron wire, which has a much longer lifespan.
Q3: What is the lead time for a 20-ton container?
A: For a 20-ton full container order, our standard delivery time is 12-18 days, including production, quality inspection, and packaging. This time can be shortened to 12 days if our warehouse has sufficient inventory. The specific delivery time will be confirmed before your order based on our production schedule, and we are committed to meeting your time requirements.
