Rolled metal wire products are produced by using methods of drawing, stretching, rolling or pressing. Stainless wire is a flexible metallic thread of fixed-length with a small cross-section. The diameter of the thread ranges from very thin (up to 0.005 mm) to massive (approximately 17 mm).
Steel wire: product types that are in high demand
The classification of modern metallic filament products is based on parameters such as chemical composition, type of surface and finish, application, cross-sectional size and shape. Of these, the following types have become more sought after:
- wire for bonding reinforcement structures - used for pre-tensioned DBK assembly;
- weldable - it is suitable for the manufacture of electrodes and for the performance of all types of welding operations;
- wire for fastening and binding of structures - it allows for fixing of clogs, is used as a raw material for production of nails;
- heat-treated wire - it is characterized by a circular cross-section and a homogeneous structure.
A steel rod may be considered as an intermediary alternative to wire products and round metals. It is indispensable in structures where high reliability and resilience to changes in weather should be achieved.
Types of coating
Various protective coatings are used to give metal threads improved performance:
- made of metals - zinc, copper, brass, aluminium;
- made of non-metallic compounds - wire coated with PVC, phosphates and other polymers;
- black coating - formed due to sinter;
- white coating in the form of a superficial oxide film.
