Pre-stressed concrete wire (PC wire) is a high-grade, low-relaxation steel wire that is primarily used to counter the low-tension qualities inherent in concrete. It is made from high-carbon steel with a high tensile strength, manufactured to exacting standards because of its common use in critical applications like bridges and other structures. PC wire can be drawn to a variety of diameters and manufactured to a variety of stress load specifications. When embedded in concrete, it may be uncoated, but for applications that expose it to the elements, it can be galvanized or epoxy-coated, similar to rebar. Also, depending on the application, PC wire can have an outer finish that is smooth, ribbed or nicked.
