Low Carbon Bright Alkaline Steel Wire Description

Low-carbon bright alkaline steel wire is a good general-purpose grade and is the most common type in daily life, such as hangers, electrical shelves, store displays and paper clips. It has good bending and flattening performance, is easy to form, and is conducive to welding. The carbon content of low carbon bright alkaline steel wire ranges from 0.06 to 0.20 percent, but the most commonly used grades are 1008(0.08 percent carbon) and 1018(0.18 percent carbon). Low-carbon bright alkaline steel wire is most often supplied in a "drawn" or "hard drawn" state, but can also be supplied in a bright annealed state according to special requirements.

 

Scope of Application

In general, low-carbon steel wire is the widest range of application - from the production of nails, mesh and reinforced concrete structures, to use the wire as the final product.
● Manufacture of nails - not bright annealed wire with a diameter of 1 to 6 mm.
● As tie wire (binding wire) - heat-treated wire without coating or galvanized.
● Low-carbon steel wire is also used in concrete construction for binding reinforcement.
● Manufacture of welded wire mesh - bright wire or galvanized wire almost all diameters (0.5 mm - 6.0 mm).
● Production of woven wire mesh - annealed uncoated or galvanized wire from 0.3 to 2 mm.
● Production of other types of metal mesh - hexagonal twisted, jointed, grooved, etc.
● The production of barbed wire - wire uncoated or galvanized with a diameter of 1.4 to 2.8 mm.
● Agriculture - for growing hops, grapes - annealed and not annealed wire diameter 1.0 mm to 3.0 mm.
● Air lines of communication - galvanized low carbon wire diameter from 2.0 mm to 4.0 mm.
