Low carbon steel wire is also known as iron wire. Low carbon steel wire is a kind of metal wire made of low carbon steel. The composition of iron wire varies according to different uses. The ingredients it contains are: iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, carbon, zinc, and other elements. The carbon content of low carbon bright alkaline steel wire ranges from 0.06 to 0.20 percent, but the most commonly used grades are 1008 (0.08 percent carbon) and 1018 (0.18 percent carbon). Low-carbon bright alkaline steel wire is most often supplied in a "drawn" or "hard drawn" state, but can also be supplied in a bright annealed state according to special requirements.
Scope of Application
In general, low-carbon steel wire is the widest range of application - from the production of nails, mesh and reinforced concrete structures, to use the wire as the final product.
● Manufacture of nails - not bright annealed wire with a diameter of 1 to 6 mm.
● As tie wire (binding wire) - heat-treated wire without coating or galvanized.
● Low-carbon steel wire is also used in concrete construction for binding reinforcement.
● Manufacture of welded wire mesh - bright wire or galvanized wire almost all diameters (0.5 mm - 6.0 mm).
● Production of woven wire mesh - annealed uncoated or galvanized wire from 0.3 to 2 mm.
● Production of other types of metal mesh - hexagonal twisted, jointed, grooved, etc.
● The production of barbed wire - wire uncoated or galvanized with a diameter of 1.4 to 2.8 mm.
● Agriculture - for growing hops, grapes - annealed and not annealed wire diameter 1.0 mm to 3.0 mm.
● Air lines of communication - galvanized low carbon wire diameter from 2.0 mm to 4.0 mm.
Chemical Industry
steel is used to construct facilities such as large storage tanks, refining equipment, and chemical pipelines.
Natural Gas Industry
Steel is also widely used in the energy industry, such as oil and gas pipelines.
Oil Pipeline
In the oil and gas industry, carbon steel is used to manufacture various equipment and pipelines.
Ship
In shipbuilding, steel is used to manufacture key components such as ship structures and engine parts.
Stadium
Steel plays an important role in steel structure buildings such as high-rise buildings, large-span buildings, and sports venues.
Water Treatment
The application of steel in water treatment is mainly reflected in the construction of water treatment equipment and the production of components such as pipelines.
Q1: What metal materials do you supply?
Jiangsu Zhongersheng is a professional manufacturer mainly supplying carbon steel, hot-dip galvanized steel, PPGI color coated steel, 201/304/316 stainless steel sheets, coils, tubes and profiles, as well as various steel structural parts. Our products serve infrastructure, photovoltaic, machinery manufacturing, chemical and new energy industries.
Q2: Can you customize material grades, thickness and sizes?
Full customization is available. For carbon steel, galvanized steel and stainless steel, thickness, width and length can be adjusted in accordance with ASTM & EN standards. Profiles can be cut and processed as per drawings, and special steel materials can be customized via production line scheduling.
Q3: What’s the difference between galvanized steel and color coated PPGI?
Hot-dip galvanized steel features pure zinc anti-rust coating with cost-effective and wear-resistant performance, suitable for steel brackets, guardrails and load-bearing structures, and supports secondary painting. PPGI takes galvanized sheet as base material with colorful coating for anti-rust & decorative purposes, widely used for factory roof/wall panels and energy storage housings. Thick galvanized steel is recommended for rainy coastal areas, while PPGI is ideal for decorative outdoor projects.
Q4: Do you have spot inventory? What’s your MOQ?
We built a 10,000-ton standardized warehouse with abundant spot stock of carbon steel, galvanized steel and stainless steel. MOQ is 1 ton for standard sizes; small samples of dozens of kilograms are acceptable. No upper limit for bulk engineering orders, mixed container loading of multiple steel types is supported.
Q5: How long is the delivery time for spot goods & customized goods?
Spot goods can be loaded within 3-7 days; simple cutting & bending processing orders take 7-10 days; mould opening & special steel customization takes 15-30 days, subject to specific specifications confirmation.
