Plain PC Wire

Key Advantages of Plain PC Wire

High Tensile Strength & Minimal Relaxation
Our Plain PC Wire delivers exceptional performance with high tensile strength and very low relaxation, ensuring long-lasting structural reliability.

1. Increased Structural Strength
   Prestressed steel wire is engineered to endure high tension forces. By introducing pre-compression into concrete, it significantly enhances structural strength and load-bearing capacity. This allows for longer spans, thinner sections, and taller structures without compromising stability and safety.

2. Improved Flexibility and Design Freedom
   Prestressed PC wire offers engineers greater flexibility in structural design. Pre-compression reduces or even eliminates the need for conventional reinforcement, allowing for slimmer, aesthetically appealing structures and innovative architectural elements.

3. Enhanced Durability
   Prestressed concrete wire reduces the risk of cracks and deformation over time. By counteracting tensile forces, it extends the service life of concrete structures, minimizing long-term maintenance and repair costs.

4. Better Deflection Control
   Pre-compression provided by PC wire effectively limits deflection and sagging under external loads. This ensures stable performance even in structures with strict deflection requirements.

5. Faster Construction & Reduced Project Time
   Using prestressed steel wire accelerates construction. Pre-tensioning or post-tensioning techniques reduce the time needed for formwork, concrete curing, and overall project completion—saving costs and enabling earlier occupancy.

6. Optimized Material Usage & Cost Efficiency
   Strategic placement of prestressed PC wire reduces the need for extra reinforcement, optimizing material usage and lowering project costs.

7. Improved Crack Control
   By introducing compressive stresses, prestressed wire limits crack width and formation, making it ideal for water-retaining structures and environments exposed to harsh conditions.

   
   

Why Our Plain PC Wire Stands Out

• Advanced Surface Treatment: We utilize pickling and phosphating technology for superior corrosion resistance.

• Exceptional Flexibility: Our PC wire can bend 180° over 10 times without damage, surpassing industry standards.
  
  

Technical Specifications

Prestressed PC Wire Diameter & Intensity
Our prestressed steel wire is specially designed for reinforced concrete applications such as bridges, buildings, railway sleepers, and infrastructure projects.

1. Diameter Options: 4mm, 4.8mm, 5mm, 7mm, 9mm, 11mm, 12.7mm

2. Tensile Strength (Intensity): 1570 MPa, 1670 MPa, 1770 MPa, 1860 MPa

• Yield Strength: Stress at which permanent deformation begins

• Ultimate Tensile Strength: The Maximum stress a wire can withstand before failure

High-intensity wires enable the construction of robust and durable structures with optimal load-bearing performance.

Plain PC Wire is widely used in prestressed concrete structures, including:

• Utility poles and hollow slabs

• Railway sleepers and express railway plates

• Prestressed concrete water pipes

• Bridges, high-rise buildings, and parking structures

Purpose:
Prestressed concrete wire strengthens concrete in tension, counteracting tensile forces that concrete alone cannot handle. The tensioned wire transfers compressive forces to the concrete, improving durability, load capacity, and overall structural performance.

Construction Process:

1. The wire is stretched to a predetermined tension using specialized equipment.

2. Tensioned wire is anchored to the concrete structure.

3. Compressive forces from the wire counterbalance tensile forces, ensuring long-lasting stability.

Q: What is Plain PC Wire used for?
A: Plain PC Wire, also known as prestressed steel wire, is primarily used in prestressed concrete structures such as bridges, buildings, railway sleepers, water pipes, and utility poles. It strengthens concrete by counteracting tensile forces, improving durability, and load-bearing capacity.

Q: What are the main advantages of using prestressed steel wire?
A: Prestressed steel wire offers high tensile strength, enhanced durability, better crack control, reduced deflection, and faster construction. It allows for longer spans, slimmer designs, and optimized material usage, making structures safer and more cost-efficient.

Q: What diameters and strengths are available for PC wire?

A: Plain PC Wire comes in diameters of 4mm, 4.8mm, 5mm, 7mm, 9mm, 11mm, and 12.7mm. Its tensile strength (intensity) ranges from 1570 MPa to 1860 MPa, ensuring the wire can handle high loads and stresses in concrete structures.

Q: How is prestressed concrete wire different from regular reinforcement?
A: Unlike conventional steel reinforcement, prestressed steel wire is tensioned before being embedded in concrete. This pre-compression reduces cracks, improves structural performance, and allows for longer and slimmer concrete members with fewer support columns.

Q: Why choose our Plain PC Wire over other brands?
A: Our PC Wire uses pickling and phosphating technology for superior corrosion resistance and durability. It also withstands over 10 bends at 180°without damage, ensuring reliability and long-term structural safety.
