Wire rod is a rolled steel product (alloy or non-alloy) manufactured from semi-finished steel with a rectangular, rounded, hexagonal, or squared shape.
Wire rod is a rolled steel product (alloy or non-alloy) manufactured from semi-finished steel with a rectangular, rounded, hexagonal, or squared shape. Fine cross-sections are especially reached by a sequential cold drawing. The wire rod is wrapped around the coils and carried in this form.
Steel wire rods are manufactured in different grades according to the type of material.
Carbon steel wire rod is the most common with no minimum content specified or required of molybdenum (Mo), aluminum (Al), chromium (Cr), niobium (Nb), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), tungsten (W), titanium (Ti), zirconium (Zr), vanadium (V), or any other element required for a particular effect of alloying. Carbon steel wire rods contain copper content, generally up to 0.40%. Moreover, the manganese content will not exceed the level of 1.65%, and 0.60% will be the maximum level of silicon.
These steel wire rods are supplied in the following grades:
Low Carbon:
- with C content ≤ 0.15 %. This is also known as “mild steel” or “electrode steel”.
Medium Carbon:
- Low grade; includes 0.15% < carbon content ≤ 0.23%
- High grades; includes 0.23% < carbon content ≤ 0.44%.
High Carbon:
- includes C content > 0.44 %.
Besides the grades, there are other features to be guaranteed for carbon steel wire rods while going through the various processes to ensure no defects and the right performance according to the destined application.
