Wire rod is the shape of long cylindrical hot-rolled shape metal product, obtained by hot-rolled billets and is generally found in coil form. Available in steel, aluminum, or copper, wire rod diameters usually range from 5.5 mm to 42 mm, with the most common range being between 5.5 mm and 14 mm. Wire rods may be smooth or ribbed; according to their surfaces, they may be used in construction as well as automobiles and many other sectors. Wire rods are drawn, cold rolled or galvanized into wires, springs, fasteners, cables, and mesh. Wire rods, because of their high strength, ductility, and weldability, constitute the raw material for manufacturing all sorts of structural and mechanical parts.
Benefits
High Strength and Durability- Wire rods are manufactured using the best steel available for durability and resistance.
Versatility- Wire rods are used in various industries: construction, automotive, manufacturing, and electricity.
Corrosion Resistance- Most wire rods are coated or alloyed to prevent rust and environmental damage.
Good Formability- They can easily undergo drawing into many wire sizes and shapes for various applications.
Economical- When put against other metal products, there seems to be a fair balance between performance and cost in the case of wire rods.
