Quality steel drawn into wire serves a vast number of purposes in commercial, manufacturing, industrial, military and even home applications. From high-pressure automobile springs to kitchen utensils, from piano strings to coat hangers, from street sweepers to shopping carts, steel wires are behind all of these, and more.

Steel wires can be drawn into diameters ranging from thick to very thin, and are available in varying strengths, usually determined by the carbon content. Simple hard-drawn wire is an affordable solution for low-stress applications, while the patent process adds strength and durability. Music wire is a useful general-purpose wire for springs enduring high-stress loads, while a chrome silicon alloy steel is ideal for shock loads and high temperatures.

COMMON TYPES OF STEEL WIRES
