Iron wire is a type of metal wire drawn from iron. The composition of iron wire varies according to different uses. Its components include iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, carbon, zinc, and other elements. Iron wires are classified into many types according to their thickness.
Due to its simple process and wide application, the production of iron wire developed relatively early. Iron wire or steel wire (the corresponding enterprises are "wire mesh enterprises") is a re - cold - processed product of steel wire rods. Generally, high - quality carbon steel or stainless steel is selected as the raw material. Usually, the iron ingots (steel ingots) for making iron wire (steel wire) can be produced only after going through several procedures such as coil shelling, pickling, water washing, saponification, drying, drawing, annealing, cooling, pickling, water washing, galvanizing line operation, and packaging.
Common types of iron wire include cold - drawn wire, annealed wire, hot - dip galvanized wire, and electro - galvanized wire.
