Product type
Wire rod is a long, cylindrical product made from steel, typically produced through a process of hot rolling. It is characterized by its uniform diameter and is available in various grades and finishes. Wire rod is primarily used as a raw material in the manufacturing of wire, cables, and other steel products, making it essential in various industrial applications.
| Material | Carbon steel or alloy steel |
| Diameter range | 5.5 mm to 16 mm |
| Length | Typically 1,000 to 1,200 meters per coil |
| Tensile strength | 350 to 1,000 MPa |
| Surface finish | Black or galvanized |
When selecting wire rod, consider the specific steel grade required for your application, as different grades offer varying properties such as strength and corrosion resistance. It's also important to specify the desired diameter and length, as well as any surface finish requirements. Certifications and tolerances may be necessary depending on the industry standards applicable to your project.
