 Description
High carbon steel wires are produced by cold drawing process from high carbon steel wire rods with carbon content of 0.35% - 1%. Each wire is manufactured for specific application according to international or user’s standards. High carbon steel wires are supplied either bright (no coating) or coated. Widely used coatings are Phosphate coating, Zinc coating (galvanized), Galfan coating, Bronze coating, Brass coating, Nickel coating and others. Usually, high carbon steel wires have higher tensile strength than low carbon steel wires, therefore used for tougher applications.
Application
High carbon steel wires are widely used for the manufacture of various wire products:
- Spring steel wires
Spring steel wires or music wires, phosphated, galvanized, Galfan, and Nickel coated are used for the production of static and dynamic springs for various industries such as: Automotive, building, agriculture, mattress and bedding, military, medical, electronics, electricity, communication, etc…
- Oil tempered spring steel wires
Oil tempered spring steel wires are made from unalloyed or alloyed steels. They are primarily subject to tensional stresses such as in compression and extension springs, particularly for the automotive industry. Oil tempered spring steel wires are also used for the production of static and dynamic springs including engine valve springs. Among the oil tempered spring steel wires you can find Carbon, Chrome-Vanadium, Chrome-Silicon and even Chrome-Silicon-Vanadium(+Nickel) wires.
- Weaving steel wires
High carbon weaving steel wires are used for manufacture of wire mesh and screens either weaved or welded, black or galvanized. They are used in high wear rate work conditions such as in stone quarries.
- Tire bead wires Tire bead wires are bronze coated high carbon steel wires mainly used for production of vehicles rubber tires. Also tire bead wires are used for production of air conditioning flexible ducts.
- Galvanized high carbon steel wires Galvanized high carbon steel wires are Zinc coated high carbon steel wires either dip or electrically coated, and used for various general purposes. Usually, as mentioned before, galvanized high carbon steel wires are used in the spring industry.
Standards & Dimensions
All international standards (EN, ASTM, AMS, JIS …) and producers’ standards and wide dimensions range, including shaped wires (round, oval, square, etc…) are quotable.
