Common features include drawing quality, mesh quality, cold-heading quality, and electrode quality, ensuring its suitability for diverse industrial uses.
Wire rod is a crucial intermediate steel product, typically produced by hot-rolling steel billets into thin, strong, and coiled rods. It is characterized by having a round cross-section, and is wound up in coils. It is extensively used in wire drawing processes to create various types of wire, including barbed wire, wire rope, nails, screws, and springs. Additionally, it plays a vital role in producing concrete reinforcement bars and welding electrodes, demonstrating its significance across various industries. Wire rod is available in different grades (low, medium, and high carbon) with varying properties to suit specific applications.
