Wire rod is produced through a hot rolling process, where steel billets are heated and rolled into thin, long, coiled rods. The process enhances the steel’s strength and flexibility. Depending on the required properties and the application, wire rods can be made from different steel grades, including carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy steel.

Characteristics of Wire Rod:

• High Strength: Due to the hot rolling process, wire rods possess significant tensile strength, making them suitable for a variety of demanding industrial applications.
• Flexibility: Wire rods can be easily processed into thinner wires or formed into other shapes, providing flexibility for further manufacturing.
• Corrosion Resistance: Depending on the material, wire rods can offer good resistance to rust and corrosion, especially if made from stainless steel or coated materials.
• Good Surface Quality: Wire rods generally have a smooth surface finish, which is important for wire drawing and other applications that require precision and consistency.
