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

Steel Wire Rod Specification

What is Steel wire rod?

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, 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.

Applications

Different fields of use

• Rebar connection: Binding wire made of Q195 and Q235 low-carbon steel wire rods is used for fixing and connecting steel bars in concrete structures.
• Packaging and agriculture: Replaces traditional hemp ropes and is used for bundling and fixing cartons, wood, and hay. Fence nets, greenhouse frame fixation, livestock breeding equipment.
• Steel wire and steel cable: Galvanized steel wire and wire rope are used for clothes drying racks, agricultural fences, and steel strands. Medium and high carbon steel wire rods (45# and 60# steel) are cold-drawn to make prestressed steel wire for bridges and high-rise building floor structures.
• Wire mesh: Processed into steel wire mesh for construction, used for wall plastering; chicken wire mesh, gabion mesh, rockfall mesh, and chain link fence are used for fencing, isolation, etc.
• Hardware: Nuts and M6-M24 bolts made by cold heading are used for mechanical assembly, and rivets/nails are used for furniture manufacturing and packaging fixation.
• Springs: 65Mn medium-high carbon steel wire rods are made into compression springs and tension springs after heat treatment, which are used in car seats, mechanical shock absorbers, and sofa springs.

Binding Wire in Construction

• Furniture and home furnishings: mattress springs, folding tables and chairs, bookshelves, and high-carbon steel wire rods are made into tire cords to improve tire impact resistance and durability.
• Welding materials: Low-carbon steel wire rods are made into welding wires after drawing, which are used in welding processes such as manual arc welding and gas shielded welding.

Different materials for different uses

• Low carbon steel series: Typical grades SWRH42A (containing Cr/B), SWRCH6A-22A, used to manufacture bolts, nuts, and other fasteners (such as 4.8-12.9 grades), need to be strengthened with cold working.
• Medium carbon steel series: Typical grades are SWRH62A, C72DA, used for spring steel wire, tire cord, and cable load-bearing steel wire.
• High carbon steel series: SWRH82B, 87MnSi, used for bridge cables, galvanized steel strands, and optical cable reinforcement cores.
• Alloy steel series: Typical grades: SUS304-WR (stainless steel), GCr15 (bearing steel). Steel wire for chemical equipment (corrosion resistant), precision bearing rings.

Tips: If you are going to buy wire rods in small quantities, buying them locally is best. However, if you want to buy large quantities of wire rods, it is best to import them directly from the manufacturer. They can issue a certificate and offer cost savings. This is better than buying locally or in small quantities from a distributor.

Production Process

Hot rolled steel billet → rough rolling → intermediate rolling → finishing rolling → coiling (wire coiling) → finishing (pickling, phosphating, coating) → performance inspection (dimensional accuracy, tensile strength, elongation, surface quality such as cracks, folds) → packaging.

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.
