What is wire rod?
Wire rod typically refers to small-diameter round steel that is coiled. The diameter of wire rod is in the range of 5 to 19 mm (normally 6 to 9 mm), its lower limit being the minimum size of the hot-rolled steel section.
Types of wire rod
There are numerous varieties of wire rod. Low carbon steel wire rod is commonly referred to as soft wire rod, while medium and high carbon steel wire rod is known as hard wire rod. Wire rod is mainly used as a raw material for wire drawing, but it can also be used directly as a construction material and processed into mechanical parts.
Stainless steel wire rod is used for the production of stainless steel wire, spring wire, turned wire and wire rope. With advances in production technology, wire rods of special shapes such as square, hexagonal and fan-shaped have emerged, the upper limit of diameter has been increased to 38 mm, and the coil weight has increased from 40-60 kg to 3,000 kg .
The development of a new post-rolling heat treatment technology has significantly reduced oxide scale on the wire rod surface, improving its microstructure and properties.
Wire Rod Weight Calculator
According to national standards, hot-rolled single round steel bars, also known as wire rod with round cross-sections and smooth surfaces, include HPB235 and HPB 300. National standards allow wire rod to be delivered based in actual weight or theoretical weight. , but it is usually delivered based on the actual market weight.
Wire rod is divided into high-speed wire rod and ordinary wire rod, but the calculation formula is the same. The wire rod weight calculator can be used to determine the weight of wire rod.
