Introduction to Annealed Wire Products

Jan. 14, 2025
Share

Annealed wire is a type of metal wire made from low-carbon steel and subjected to annealing treatment. This process eliminates internal stresses within the metal, enhancing its flexibility and ductility, making it more suitable for various processing and applications. Below is a detailed introduction to annealed wire products:

Diameter (mm)

18

Approx. 1.02

20

Approx. 0.81

24

Approx. 0.56


These specifications can be selected based on specific application needs.


Applications


Due to its excellent flexibility and ductility, annealed wire has a wide range of applications:


1. Metal Craft Production: Such as iron art ornaments, metal wreaths, etc. Annealed wire can be easily bent and woven to create exquisite crafts.


2. Construction Industry: Used for building bundling, road guardrail production, etc. Annealed wire can conform to the surface of the bundled object without causing damage due to its own stress and hardness.


3. Hardware Products: Such as coat hangers, hooks, and other daily hardware items. Annealed wire is easy to process and weld, meeting various shapes and sizes.


4. Packaging Industry: Used for bundling cartons, wooden boxes, and other packaging materials. Annealed wire is soft and not prone to breaking, providing stable bundling effects.

Product Advantages


Compared to other untreated metal wires, annealed wire offers the following advantages:


1. Excellent Flexibility: After annealing treatment, internal stresses are eliminated, giving annealed wire very good softness and bending performance.


2. Good Ductility: It has better ductility than ordinary untreated steel wire under tensile deformation and other conditions.


3. Low Residual Stress: The annealing process greatly eliminates internal stresses, making annealed wire less prone to premature fatigue fracture and other phenomena during subsequent use.


4. Easy to Process: Annealed wire is easy to weld and cold process, such as drawing and stamping, meeting various complex processing needs.


Market Trends and Prospects


With the rapid development of the manufacturing industry and people's pursuit of high-quality life, the application fields of annealed wire will continue to expand. Especially in the crafts, construction, hardware products, and packaging industries, the demand for annealed wire will continue to grow. At the same time, with continuous technological advancements and reductions in production costs, the market competitiveness of annealed wire will also continue to increase. In the future, the market for annealed wire is expected to achieve broader development prospects.
