The uses and applications of Wire Rod may vary according to its specification. The main forms of Wire Rod are rolled; cleaned; coated; and heat treated.

About Carbon Steel. Wire Rod is an iron or steel semifinished product rolled from a billet on a rod mill. Although it may be produced in several shapes, such as square, hexagonal, triangular, and flat, most part is round in cross-section with diameters of 5.6 to 18.7 mm. It differs from bars in that it is formed into coils of about 760 mm in diameter and weighs up to 2000 kg.

If on board the vessel, wire rod may be stored in lower holds or tweendecks. It is necessary to use compact and rigid bundles, and that the wire rods are organized in such a way as to avoid breaking the stowage and causing damage due to crushing, disintegration of the bundles, bends, twists, etc. Also, it is necessary to avoid saltwater humidity, so it requires particular humidity and ventilated conditions.

The uses and applications of Wire Rod may vary according to its specification. The main forms of Wire Rod are rolled; cleaned; coated; and heat treated.

Wire rod is usually hot-rolled into wire suitable for further rolling or drawing. Mechanical characteristics result from the composition of the allow and the thermal treatment, and so do the applications, ranging from wire mesh, nails, springs, barbed wire, and reinforcement wire.
