Wire rod is a rolled steel product (alloy or non-alloy) manufactured from semi-finished steel with a rectangular, rounded, hexagonal, or squared shape. Fine cross-sections are especially reached by a sequential cold drawing. The wire rod is wrapped around the coils and carried in this form.

Steel Wire Rod Hs Code: 7213 (Steel Wire Rod, Steel Wire Rod Coil)

What is steel wire rod used for?

Wire rod has a number of end uses and applications, including tie wire, mesh, fencing, shelving, shopping carts, wire hangers, and  nails. In addition, wire drawn from the rod can be galvanized, plated, and painted.

Wire Rod Shape and Size

The steel wire rod is a finished product and is cold-formed for further processing. Although it has a variety of shapes, it is mostly rolled around. Diameters often range from 5 to 15 millimeters, with most complying with the ISO standards, making it easy for the sizes to advance in increments of 1 mm to 20 mm.

All steel wire rods are formed into the coils without any break. This is to ensure that steel wire rods are well-prepared for further processing (usually by heat treating, coating, and cleaning). The coils’ internal diameter often varies from 810 to 910 millimeters, and the external, from 1100 to 1300 millimeters (depending on the capability of the mill’s equipment). Subsequently, the weight of the coils differs from approximately 600 kg and larger above 2 tons.

What is the difference between steel wire and rod?

The answer is that wire is cold drawn to a much higher extent than a larger diameter rod. Steel is like most metals, in that there is a marked increase in strength when you deform it. Drawing increases the wire's strength and also reduces its ductility (measured by strain to failure).

What is the difference between a steel rod and a steel bar?

Round bars are typically made from hot-rolled steel, while rods usually come from cold-drawn steel. Round bars have a higher carbon content than rods, which gives them better strength and hardness properties. Rods have a higher manganese content than round bars, which gives them better wear resistance.

Attention before purchasing!

You need to choose a reputable supplier. In order to protect your best interests, you need to do a full background check on the supplier, such as checking his establishment years, checking his Alibaba store reputation, checking Google results for negative news, investigating the reputation of the company from peers, or asking for samples for testing first to avoid being deceived.
