Wire rod

Wire rod, also known as wire rod, usually refers to small-diameter round steel in coils. The diameter of the wire rod is in the range of 5-19 mm (usually 6-9 mm), and the lower limit is the minimum size of the hot-rolled steel section.

Wire rod classification

There are many varieties of wire rod. Among carbon steel wire rods, low carbon steel wire rods are commonly known as soft wires, while medium and high carbon steel wire rods are commonly known as hard wires. Wire rod is mainly used as blank for drawing, and can also be directly used as building materials and processed into mechanical parts. Stainless steel wire rod is used to make stainless steel wire, stainless steel spring steel wire, stainless steel upset steel wire and stainless steel wire rope. With the advancement of production technology, square, hexagonal, sector-shaped and other special-shaped wire rods have appeared; the upper limit of diameter has been expanded to 38 mm; the weight of the disc has increased from the original 40-60 kg to 3,000 kg. Due to the development of a new post-rolling heat treatment process, the iron oxide scale on the surface of the wire rod has been significantly thinned, and the structural properties have also been greatly improved.
