Mild Steel Wire Rod Coils

Mild Steel Wire Rod Coil

Mild Steel Wire Rod Coil is a semi-finished hot-rolled long steel product, supplied in coil form, produced from billets in a wire rod mill. It has low carbon content (0.05–0.25% C), making it ductile, weldable, and easily formable.

These coils are used as feedstock for manufacturing wires, fasteners, nails, welding electrodes, springs, ropes, mesh, and reinforcement products.

Uses of MS Wire Rod Coil

• Construction: Binding wires, fencing wires, welded mesh, nails.

• Automotive & Engineering: Bolts, nuts, screws, springs.

• Electrical: Welding electrodes, wire ropes, armored cables.

• General Fabrication: Chains, rivets, cold-heading quality wires.

• Agriculture: Barbed wire, wire netting, tools.

Specifications
