Wire Rod (Coil Steel)

What is wire rod?
Coil steel is a semi-finished product in the form of coils, which are round or semi-round and produced by hot rolling. It is used as a raw material for products such as wire, nails, bolts, and steel mesh.
Wire rod iron refers to coiled metals used in construction. Another name for wire rod iron is coil steel. The inner diameters of the coils are either 850 mm or 1000 mm. wire rod iron is the thinner form of construction iron.

Wire rod(coil steel) Production Process and Properties
The production processes are identical to those of construction iron. In the production of wire rod iron, billets taken into the rolling mill are heated up to 1200°C in annealing furnaces. The scale on the billets removed from the annealing furnace is cleaned using a descaler with pressurized water.
The billets with the scale removed are also subjected to rough processing and cooling steps to be transformed into wire rod iron.
The difference between construction iron and wire rod iron is that construction iron is produced with a minimum thickness of 8 mm, while wire rod iron, depending on its quality, can be produced in diameters ranging from 5.5 mm to 26 mm and in coil weights of 1.5 to 2 metric tons.

Wire rod(coil steel) Types
wire rod is produced in two types: plain and ribbed. Its specific gravity is taken as 7.85 g.
In the wire rod (coil steel) rolling mill, coil steel is produced by rolling, in both commercial and special qualities, suitable for use in many industries.
Additionally, it is used in the production of components that need to resist impact and wear, such as disks and blades of agricultural machinery, concrete breakers, and also in laminated springs due to its fatigue resistance.
