Classification of steel wires

According to the material, steel wire can be mainly divided into ordinary steel wire, alloy steel wire, stainless steel wire, etc. Among them, ordinary steel wire can be divided into three categories: low carbon steel wire, medium carbon steel wire and high carbon steel wire. Alloy steel wire can be divided into spring steel wire, bearing steel wire and steel wire rope. Steel wires made of different materials have different characteristics in terms of mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, strength, etc., and the appropriate materials can be selected according to needs.

Common steel wire grades

1. Low carbon steel wire

Common grades include Q195, Q215, Q235, etc. These steel wires have good ductility and toughness and are suitable for manufacturing steel wire mesh, iron wire, agricultural screens, etc.

2. Medium carbon steel wire

Common grades include SWRH42A, SWRH62A, etc. These steel wires have high strength and hardness and are suitable for manufacturing springs of winches, wheel spokes, etc.

3. High carbon steel wire

Common grades include SWRH67B, SWRH82B, etc. These steel wires have extremely high strength and hardness and are suitable for manufacturing automotive parts, cutting tools, etc.

4. Spring wire

Common grades include 60Si2Mn, 55CrSi, etc. These steel wires have good elasticity and fatigue properties and are suitable for manufacturing springs, circlips, etc.

5. Stainless steel wire

Common grades include 304, 316, etc. These steel wires have good corrosion resistance, strength and toughness and are suitable for manufacturing food processing equipment, medical devices, etc.

The above is an introduction to common steel wire grades. You can choose the appropriate steel wire material according to your actual needs. When purchasing, you need to pay attention to the mechanical properties, chemical composition, surface treatment and other details of the material to ensure that the selected steel wire can meet the usage requirements.
