What is Cold Drawn Wire?
It is the process of “drawing” rolled steel bars by reprocessing them. The cold drawing process is generally applied to low-carbon steels. In the cold drawing, the hot produced product (round, square, hexagonal) is reprocessed. The applied process can simply be described as “compression”. The cold drawing technique is applied for sensitive tolerance and high surface quality demands.
What are the Benefits of Cold Drawn Wire?
There are a few noticeable benefits that make cold-drawn steel desirable over hot rolled steel products.
» Cold drawn wire can be manufactured to more precise measurements than other forms of steel, along with sharper corners. This is because hot-formed steel products will change in shape during the cooling process.
» Cold drawn wire has an improved yield strength and tensile strength over hot rolled steel products.
» Cold drawn wire has an improved surface finish than hot rolled steel, which makes it more appealing to the eye.
