Wire-Rod
Wire-Rod, also known as rolled steel sheet, is produced by rolling and then coiling steel into rolls. Due to its ease of transportation, storage, and the ability to cut into desired sizes, it is one of the most widely used forms of steel sheet in various industries.
Key Features of Wire-Rod
Produced in hot-rolled (HR) or cold-rolled (CR) conditions.
Uniform thickness with smooth or oiled surface.
Easy forming and cutting into different dimensions.
Good resistance to tension and bending.
Types of Wire-Rod
Hot Rolled Coil (HRC): Thicker, matte surface, suitable for heavy industries and structural applications.
Cold Rolled Coil (CRC): Smooth finish and precise dimensions, used in home appliances and automotive.
Galvanized Coil: Coated with zinc for corrosion resistance.
Color Coated Coil: Painted with electrostatic coating for decorative and construction purposes.
Production Process of Wire-Rod
Rolling steel sheet in hot or cold condition.
Cooling and thickness control.
Coiling into rolls and standard packaging.
Applications of Wire-Rod
Production of cut-to-length sheets for construction industries.
Manufacturing of home appliances, car bodies, and industrial equipment.
Production of ventilation ducts, metal roofing, and lightweight structures.
Pipe and profile manufacturing industries.
Key Points for Purchasing Steel Coil
Production standards: ASTM, EN, or ISIRI depending on usage.
Thickness and width: According to drawings or production line requirements.
Surface quality: Free from rust, scratches, or waves.
Type of coating: Specify if galvanized or color-coated is needed.
