WIRE ROD
We deal in various grades of wire rod.
Wire rod is a semi-finished long steel product with a typically circular cross-section, manufactured by hot rolling steel billets on continuous rolling mills. Post-rolling, the material is coiled into bundles for ease of handling and further processing.
Product Characteristics:
Diameter:
Generally ranges from 5.5 mm to 16 mm (may vary depending on mill capability)
Cross-section:
Round (with occasional specialty shapes for niche applications)
Delivered form:
Coiled
