What’s the difference between wire and steel wire?

Steel wire and iron wire have many similarities, but carefully distinguish, will find that they are not only different in the material, but also in the product characteristics of the great difference. So when choosing, be sure to make a clear distinction between the two. Steel wire factory introduces steel wire carbon structural steel made above, generally not galvanized, used for machinery, spring. Black, very hard; Wire: made of mild steel (mild steel), galvanized, used for joining and binding. White and soft.

The main difference between the two is the carbon content. The carbon content of iron is 2.11 percent or greater, while the carbon content of steel is 2.11 percent or less. The iron carbon alloy with carbon content above 2.11% is cast iron (pig iron), which is basically not malleable and cannot be drawn into wire. Secondly, the content of impurities is different. The content of harmful impurities such as sulfur and phosphorus in steel is smaller. Steel wire general color focus, iron wire color light point, white point.

The life of the “wire”, is actually “low carbon steel wire”, carbon content in less than 0.2%. The surface is usually coated with zinc plating because it is easy to rust. Under atmospheric conditions, the galvanized layer will not rust before most of the fall off, relatively soft. The life of the “steel wire”, is carbon content in about 0.6% of the “carbon steel wire”, or carbon content in about 0.8% of the “high carbon steel wire”, they have enough hardness and elasticity after appropriate heat treatment, high strength. Uses such as winding ordinary spring and so on.

Annealed wire is a soft iron wire made of low carbon steel cold drawing, heating, constant temperature, heat preservation and other processes. The composition of iron wire varies according to its use. It contains iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, carbon, zinc, and other elements. The hot metal billet rolled into 6.5mm thick steel bar is the wire rod, and then put it into the wire drawing device into a different diameter of the line, and gradually reduce the aperture of the wire tray, cooling, annealing, plating and other processing technology made of various specifications of iron wire.

Annealed wire is mainly made of soft iron wire through low carbon steel heating, hot drawing, constant temperature and other processes. Because of the differences in use, there are also different in the production process, and the specifications are varied. Annealed wire can be widely used, mainly because annealed wire and other kinds of wire, has many advantages.

Regular maintenance and maintenance, save a lot of time, but also save the cost of maintenance and maintenance. With good stability, good corrosion resistance, greatly prolong the service life. More kinds, can be selected according to different uses, making annealing wire device is simple, improve the utilization rate of the device.
