All You Need To Know About Carbon Steel Wire

How can carbon steel wires be used?

Carbon steel is a compound of iron and carbon in which the carbon content's weight is 2.1 percent. The rise in the percentage of carbon will increase the strength and hardness of steel, but it will make carbonless ductile. Carbon steel has decent power and hardness properties, and it is cheaper than the rest of steel. The standards of carbon steel are named like that because the carbon level in their base metal primarily determines their properties. Some kinds of steel rope wires are below.

Yaoan Wiremesh supply professional and honest service.

Bright low carbon primary steel wire 

Bright low carbon primary steel wire is a decent general-purpose standard that people can most often see in daily life, like in paper clips, store displays, appliance shelving, and coat hangers. It flattens and bends well, easily forms shapes, and is appropriate for welding. The bright low carbon steel wire's carbon content ranges from 0.06 percent to 0.20 percent. Still, the prevalent available standards of bright low carbon primary steel wire are , which contains 0.08 percent carbon, and which holds 0.18 percent carbon. Bright low carbon primary steel wire is very commonly furnished in hard-drawn or as-drawn condition, but colorful annealed carbon steel wires are offered for sale on special request.

High carbon spring temper steel wires

High carbon steel is employed to manufacture spring temper carbon steel wires. Commonly offered spring steel wire grades are not equipped with definite chemistry designations like or , widely used with the rest of the kinds of high carbon steel items. Instead, they are made and specified according to a performance criterion for manufacturing coiled springs. This performance criterion permits carbon content but has extra factors like coiling/bending tests and tensile strength that manufacturers must fulfill inside specified ranges. Some of the primary types of high carbon spring temper steel rope wires are below.

Hard drawn spring steel and Music spring quality steel wires

Hard-drawn spring steel wire is a cost-efficient option for several general-purpose uses. Its carbon content falls in the range from 0.45 percent to 0.85 percent. Hard-drawn spring steel wire does not usually undergo a heat treatment following drawing. It shows moderate toughness and high strength. It is offered in an extensive series of diameters and is made to conform to ASTM A764 for roused finishes and ASTM A227 for uncovered finishes. Music spring quality steel wire, also known as piano wire. Its content of the carbon ranges falls within the range from 0.70 percent to one percent. The music wire undergoes heat treatment after getting drawn to stress-relieving and toughening the carbon steel wire while retaining high tensile strength. Music wire is made in a manner that conforms to ASTM A228. It is offered for sale in a range of galvanized, tin-coated, phosphate, and bright finishings.

Uses of carbon steel wire 

Low-carbon Steel Wire, General Purpose Wire, for Frameworks

Low-Carbon Steel Wire for Producing Nail, Mesh, Concrete Construction


LSW-01: Low carbon steel wire

Low-carbon steel wire is normal quality wire, and it is called general purpose wire. Steel wire is usually well holds its shape, but this is a heavy metal, and bend it easily. Often used for a variety of frameworks.

Application of Low-carbon wire:

  1. 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.
  2. Manufacture of nails - not bright annealed wire with a diameter of 1 to 6 mm.
  3. As tie wire (binding wire) - heat-treated wire without coating or galvanized.
  4. Low-carbon steel wire is also used in concrete construction for binding reinforcement.
  5. Manufacture of welded wire mesh - bright wire or galvanized wire almost all diameters (0.5 mm - 6.0 mm).
  6. Production of woven wire mesh - annealed uncoated or galvanized wire from 0.3 to 2 mm.
  7. Production of other types of metal mesh - hexagonal twisted, jointed, grooved, etc.
  8. The production of barbed wire - wire uncoated or galvanized with a diameter of 1.4 to 2.8 mm.
  9. Agriculture - for growing hops, grapes - annealed and not annealed wire diameter 1.0 mm to 3.0 mm.
  10. Air lines of communication - galvanized low carbon wire diameter from 2.0 mm to 4.0 mm.

We are always in the presence of a high quality low carbon steel wire. Price varies depending on the characteristics and the diameter of each individual wire. But for large volume orders we offer special rates. Low-carbon steel wire is sold by weight. Your desired order quantity is easily calculated, based on the diameter of a circle of wire and its total length.
