Kangal Iron / Wire Rod

Wire rod is a steel material used to provide structural strength and stability in industrial and construction projects. It is produced by the hot rolling method and serves as a semi-finished metal used for cold drawing. It is available in sizes ranging from 5.5 mm to 18 mm.

Wire rod is a product widely used in the construction industry and plays a crucial role in various projects. In this article, we will discuss what wire rod is, its dimensions and types, how the production processes work, its areas of use, and what to consider when purchasing it. Additionally, we will provide information on the quality and advantages of the wire rod products we offer at Albayrak Demir Çelik.

What is Wire Rod?

Wire rod, also known as coil rebar, is a type of iron typically produced from low-carbon steel and used in various industrial applications. In the construction industry, wire rod is an essential component for reinforced concrete structures, known for its high strength and durability. These qualities make wire rod play a critical role in enhancing the safety and longevity of buildings. Wire rod is typically produced in round sections and long bars. These bars are used to counteract tensile stresses within concrete. Additionally, wire rod can be used in the production of wire, nails, screws, and similar products. At Albayrak Demir Çelik, we provide high-quality wire rod products to the construction industry and other sectors.

Wire Rod Sizes and Types

Wire rod is produced in various sizes and types. These sizes depend on the project and requirements in which the wire rod will be used. Generally, wire rod diameters range from 5.5 mm to 16 mm. This wide range of diameters allows wire rod to be used in many applications. For example, thinner wire rod is used in wire and nail production, while thicker wire rod is preferred for reinforced concrete structures. Wire rod types include low-carbon, medium-carbon, and high-carbon wire rods. Low-carbon wire rods are softer and more flexible, making them ideal for applications such as wire and nail production. Medium- and high-carbon wire rods are harder and more durable, which is why they are used in reinforced concrete structures and other heavy-duty applications.

Wire Rod Types and Features

Wire rod types vary depending on their application and requirements. Low-carbon wire rods are softer and more flexible, commonly used in wire and nail production. These wire rods are known for their easy machinability and moldability. Medium-carbon wire rods are harder and more durable, making them ideal for reinforced concrete structures and other heavy-duty applications. High-carbon wire rods are the hardest and most durable type of wire rod. These wire rods are used in applications requiring high strength. For example, high-carbon wire rods are preferred in bridges, dams, and other large infrastructure projects. At Albayrak Demir Çelik, we offer various wire rod products to meet our customers’ needs.

Applications of Coil Rebar

Coil rebar, or wire rod, has a wide range of applications in the construction industry. Reinforced concrete structures are one of the most common uses of wire rod. Wire rod is used to counteract tensile stresses within concrete, thus increasing the durability of structures. Wire rod is also widely used in the production of wire and nails. Low-carbon wire rods are ideal materials for wire and nail production due to their easy machinability and moldability. Wire rods used in wire and nail production are produced in various diameters and lengths to suit different applications. Another application is in the automotive and machinery manufacturing industries. Medium- and high-carbon wire rods are used to produce automotive and machine parts. These types of wire rods are ideal for applications requiring high strength and durability. At Albayrak Demir Çelik, we offer wire rod products suitable for various industries, meeting our customers’ needs.

Things to Consider When Purchasing Wire Rod

There are a few important factors to consider when purchasing wire rod. First, the quality and durability of the wire rod should be checked. High-quality wire rods are necessary for long-lasting and reliable structures. Therefore, when purchasing wire rod, attention should be paid to the manufacturer’s quality standards and certifications. At Albayrak Demir Çelik, we provide reliable solutions to our customers with our high-quality wire rod products. Secondly, the dimensions and types of wire rod should be taken into account. Wire rod is produced in different diameters and lengths, and these dimensions should be suitable for the project in which it will be used. Additionally, the carbon content and mechanical properties of the wire rod should be considered. Low-, medium-, and high-carbon wire rods are suitable for different applications, so the correct type of wire rod should be selected.
