What are Carbon Steel Wire?

Carbon Steel Wire is a long, thin product made from carbon steel rods drawn through dies to achieve the desired diameter and mechanical characteristics.
Depending on carbon content (low, medium, or high) and surface finish (bright, galvanized, black annealed), carbon steel wire serves a wide array of needs — from reinforcement in construction to springs, fasteners, fencing, and wire mesh manufacturing.

High carbon wire grades are typically used for applications requiring greater tensile strength, while low carbon wires offer superior ductility and weldability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Explore our FAQs for insights on materials, customization, and delivery.
What is the difference between annealed and spring carbon steel wire?
Annealed wire is soft and easily formable, while spring wire is hardened to provide high tensile strength and elasticity for dynamic applications.
Can carbon steel wire be galvanized?
Yes. Galvanizing adds a protective zinc layer, enhancing corrosion resistance especially for outdoor or marine use.
High-carbon grades like SAE 1060, 1070, and 1080 are ideal for manufacturing springs and tension-loaded components.
What packaging options are available for carbon steel wire deliveries?
We supply carbon steel wire in coils, spools, straight-cut bundles, and drums based on customer needs.
