Medium and low carbon steel wires from TJ Wasungen offer exceptional ductility, formability, and cost-effectiveness for diverse industrial needs. As a leading China-based wholesaler, we deliver high-quality products tailored for construction, manufacturing, and more.
These wires contain 0.05-0.25% carbon, providing superior flexibility and strength ideal for cold-working. They resist corrosion when coated and support easy welding or bending in fabrication. Benefits include affordability, versatility across applications, and compliance with international standards for reliable performance.
Hot-dip zinc-coated for enhanced rust resistance, suitable for outdoor use in fencing or binding. Available in diameters from 0.5mm to 12mm with tensile strengths up to 1,500 MPa.
Polyethylene coating adds chemical and abrasion resistance, perfect for marine or agricultural settings. Ensures long-term durability in harsh environments while maintaining flexibility.
Zinc & Aluminum Alloy Coating Steel Wire
Offers superior corrosion protection via 55% aluminum-zinc alloy, outperforming standard galvanization. Ideal for long-life applications like roofing or structural cables.
Commonly used in construction for mesh reinforcement, tying rebar, and prestressed concrete components. Also serves manufacturing for springs, cables, and fencing, plus agriculture for netting and animal husbandry. Low carbon variants excel in formable parts like automotive clips or wire ropes.
Production starts with high-grade steel rods drawn to precise diameters, followed by cleaning, coating, and annealing for optimal properties. We adhere to ISO 9001 standards with rigorous tensile, coating thickness, and adhesion tests. Advanced labs ensure every batch meets ASTM A510 and GB/T 343 specs for consistency.
Carbon Content: 0.05-0.25% (low), 0.25-0.60% (medium).
Diameter Range: 0.2mm-20mm.
Tensile Strength: 400-2,500 MPa, customizable.
Standards: ASTM A227, A510, JIS G 3532, EN 10017.

What is the difference between low and medium carbon steel wire?
Low carbon steel wire (0.04-0.25% carbon) excels in ductility and weldability, ideal for forming and bending like galvanized binding wire. Medium carbon (0.25-0.60%) offers higher strength and hardness with moderate flexibility, suiting applications like spokes or springs.
What are the main benefits of galvanized coating on low carbon steel wire?
Galvanization applies a zinc layer for rust protection, extending lifespan in outdoor conditions such as fencing or construction mesh. It provides sacrificial corrosion resistance, where zinc corrodes first to shield the steel.
Can medium/low carbon steel wire be welded easily?
Yes, low carbon variants weld exceptionally well due to minimal risk of brittle microstructures during cooling. Medium carbon requires preheating or specific techniques for optimal joints.
What tensile strength ranges are typical for these wires?
Low carbon wires range from 400-1,200 MPa, prioritizing formability; medium carbon reaches 800-2,500 MPa for stronger uses. Values depend on diameter and processing.
How does PE coating compare to zinc-aluminum alloy coating?
PE (polyethylene) provides chemical and abrasion resistance for harsh environments like agriculture. Zinc-aluminum alloy offers superior long-term atmospheric corrosion protection, ideal for roofing or coastal areas.
What standards govern medium/low carbon steel wire quality?
Key standards include ASTM A510/A227 for general wire, ASTM A123 for galvanized coatings, and GB/T 343 or EN 10017 for tensile properties. Compliance ensures reliability in global supply.
What is the minimum order quantity for wholesale purchases?
Typically 1 metric ton (1,000 kg), with flexibility for repeat clients or mixed types. Bulk orders qualify for better pricing and customized packaging.
