Steel Wire & Wire Rod
Wire rod is a semi-finished rolled product drawn into wire for fasteners, mesh, springs, prestressing, welding consumables and many industrial products.
Material and manufacturing basis
Low-carbon wire rod favors drawing and forming; high-carbon and alloy wire rod serves springs, tire cord, ropes and high-strength applications.
Common standards and grades
Grades range from low-carbon SAE 1006/1008 to high-carbon 1070/1080 families, spring grades, tire-cord steels and stainless wire grades.
Typical applications
Welded mesh, nails, fasteners, ropes, springs, tire reinforcement, electrodes, fencing and prestressing strand.
Engineering and procurement checks
Surface scale, decarburization, segregation, inclusion cleanliness, drawability, tensile properties and coil handling strongly affect downstream quality.
Manufacturer selection
Source from a mill or qualified stockist able to supply the exact standard, grade, dimensions, delivery condition and certification required. Confirm manufacturer approval status, heat traceability, test certificates, marking and any project-specific third-party inspection.
Element Folio engineering reference. Always verify the latest governing standard, project specification and manufacturer data before procurement or design.
