What is Carbon Steel Wire?
Carbon steel wire is a type of wire made from carbon steel—a metal alloy comprising primarily iron and carbon. The carbon content provides the wire with superior strength and hardness, while its tensile properties make it highly versatile. Depending on the carbon content, carbon steel wire is classified into low, medium, or high carbon steel, each offering unique benefits.The result? A strong, flexible, and reliable wire that can be formed into springs, cables, fasteners, and more. Carbon steel wire is a staple in industries requiring precision, durability, and performance under demanding conditions.
