Wire rod; It is a semi-finished steel product produced by hot rolling method of steel and usually presented in coil form. Wire rods, which can be produced in square, rectangular and hexagonal sections, especially round sections, are used as basic raw materials for cold drawing and various metal processing processes. Thanks to its high processability, it is preferred as an intermediate product in many different industries.

Iron-carbon alloys with a carbon content generally below 1.8% in the steel structure can gain different strength and flexibility properties through mechanical and heat treatments. In this way, wire rod products can be produced in low carbon, medium carbon or alloy steel types and offer different technical properties according to the area of use. Especially steel types containing alloying elements such as silicon and manganese are preferred in machinery manufacturing and heavy-duty applications due to their high elasticity limit and wear resistance.
Wire rod products are usually shipped in coils and then passed through various production processes and used in the production of wire, fasteners or different metal parts. Thanks to this feature, it is considered as one of the most basic raw materials of metal processing and manufacturing industry.
Areas of Use
- Wire production: It is used as raw material in cold wire drawing and wire crushing processes.
- Production of fasteners: Used in the manufacture of bolts, nuts, screws and various fasteners.
- Construction applications: It is preferred in the production of stirrup, miter, moulding square, pile, piling and bored pile reinforcements.
- Nail and binding wire production: It is used in the production of nails and concrete binding wires used in construction and industrial sectors.
- High strength wire and rope production: Used in spring wire, steel wire rope and wire products requiring high strength.
- Welding consumables: Used as an important raw material in the production of welding wires and electrodes.
- Pre-stressed concrete wires: Used in the production of special wires that increase the strength of reinforced concrete structures.
Advantages
- Easily adapts to different production processes thanks toits high workability.
- It is used as the basic raw material of many industries with itswide usage area.
- It offers mechanical properties suitable for the project withdifferent alloy options.
- Thanks toits coil form, it provides easy storage and shipment.
In addition, wire rod is also preferred in the production of machine parts that require high impact and abrasion resistance. It plays an important role in the production of products that need to be resistant to fatigue, such as discs and milling cutters of agricultural machinery, concrete crusher equipment parts and lamella springs.
