Steel Wire Rod
Steel wire rod is a rolled steel with a round cross section. It is usually 5 to 16 mm in diameter and is sold in rolls or bundles. Wanzhi Steel produces steel wire rods by ISO standards. It can be used to manufacture screws, nails, concrete mesh, and reinforcing bars, etc. According to the carbon content, steel wire rods are classified as low carbon steel wire rods, medium carbon steel wire rods, high carbon steel wire rods, etc. Welcome to Ask Wanzhi Steel for more.
- Low carbon – Carbon content ≤ 0.15
- Medium carbon – Carbon content > 0.15% ≤ 0.23
- Medium high carbon – Carbon content > 0.23% ≤ 0.44
- High carbon – Carbon content > 0.44

What is the Steel Wire Rod?
Steel Wire Rod is a hot-rolled steel alloy wire with a round cross-section. It is the raw material for many wire and mesh products.
Core Features
- Material: mainly carbon steel or alloy steel, with a carbon content between 0.45% and 0.82%, and elements such as chromium (Cr) and boron (B) are often added to optimize performance.
- Process: It is formed by multiple rolling (rough rolling, intermediate rolling, and finishing rolling) combined with water cooling, wire drawing, and temperature-controlled cooling processes. Parameters such as wire drawing rate (78-85m/s) and holding time (200-300 seconds) need to be precisely controlled to ensure uniformity of the structure.
High Quality Steel Wire Rod
- Standard: It complies with ISO 16124:2015 international standards and has strict specifications for dimensional tolerance, surface quality (no cracks, impurities), bending performance, and packaging and transportation.
Benifits
- High plasticity: The diameter is usually 5-19mm, and it can be made into steel wire, steel rope cable, spring, etc., through cold drawing, cold rolling, and other processes.
- Smooth surface: After rolling or pickling, there is less oxide scale, which is convenient for subsequent drawing, galvanizing, or plastic coating.
- Strength: Different carbon content (low carbon, medium carbon, high carbon), wide strength range (yield strength 200-1000MPa+), suitable for a variety of scenarios.
- High ductility: It can be directly used in automatic forming equipment (screw machine, spring machine), easy to cold process, and suitable for batch processing.
- High-dimensional accuracy: Strict diameter tolerance control (±0.1mm) to ensure the consistency of the processed product.
- Good weldability: Low-carbon steel wire is easy to weld, suitable for building reinforcement, mesh manufacturing, etc.
- High cost performance: The cost of raw materials is lower than that of special alloy steel, and the processing loss is low, which is of great investment value.

Application Scenarios
1. Primary Wire Drawing (Core Usage)
- Low-carbon rod is processed into annealed wire, galvanized wire, and fencing wire.
- Medium-carbon rod is manufactured into prestressed steel wire and springs.
- High-carbon rod is produced into wire rope, steel cord, and galvanized steel strands.
- Stainless steel rod is crafted into braided mesh and precision spring wire.
2. Construction & Engineering
Q195/Q215 low-carbon rod is directly welded into concrete reinforcement mesh for building floors, roads, and bridges.
3. Fasteners & Automotive
SWRCH22A/SWRCH35K is cold-headed into high-strength bolts, nuts, and pins for automotive and structural connections.
4. Welding Materials
Rods like H08A & H08E are processed into welding wire for robust steel pipe and structure welding.

Packaging & Shipping
The wire rods sold by Wanzhi Steel are often packaged in coils. This is because coils are more convenient to transport and use. Coiled wire takes up less space than a rod cut to size. This means that it is more space-efficient to store. In addition, buying wire in coils saves material. You can cut the wire to a specific size, so there is no waste.
Export packaging
- Moisture-proof: inner layer of anti-rust paper + outer layer of waterproof plastic sheet.
- Reinforcement: steel belt + angle steel edge guard to prevent hoisting deformation.
- Marking: label (weight, specification, material, HS code, etc.).
If you have special packing requirements, we support specifying.
