High Carbon Wire Rod
Introduction
High Carbon Wire Rod is a type of hot-rolled steel wire rod with a high carbon content, typically ranging from 0.45% to 0.85% carbon by weight.
Feature
Outstanding fatigue life
The rotating bending fatigue test shows that the number of cycles under 600MPa stress amplitude exceeds 2 million times, which is 3 times longer than the life of similar medium carbon steel products.
Strict dimensional accuracy
The diameter tolerance of our products is ±0.1mm (Φ5.5-14mm specifications), and the ovality is ≤0.15mm. The surface oxide scale thickness is ≤15μm, which reduces the subsequent pickling loss by more than 20%.
Stable material consistency
The High Carbon Wire Rod adopt the furnace refining (LF+VD) process, [O]≤20ppm, [S]≤0.015%, and the composition fluctuation is controlled within ±0.03%, ensuring that the mechanical properties difference is less than 5% during mass production.
Customized heat treatment adaptability
We can provide spheroidized annealing organization (spheroidization rate ≥90%) according to customer needs, or deliver directly in the drawn state. The tensile strength fluctuation range of annealed materials is ≤50MPa, which meets the requirements of precision spring manufacturing.

Applications
Spring manufacturing
The high carbon content (generally 0.6%~0.95%) gives the material good resilience and tensile strength, making it an ideal raw material for automobile suspension springs, clutch springs, industrial tension springs, etc.
Wire ropes and strands
High Carbon Wire Rod can be drawn to make bridge cables, lifting wire ropes, mining wire ropes, and power transmission conductor core wires.

FAQ
Q: What is high carbon wire rod and how is it different from low carbon wire rod?
A: High carbon wire rod typically contains 0.6%–0.95% carbon, giving it higher strength, hardness, and wear resistance compared to low carbon wire rod (≤0.25% carbon). It is used for applications requiring high tensile strength and fatigue resistance, such as springs and steel wire ropes.
Q: What are the main applications of high carbon wire rod?
A: High carbon wire rod is used in the production of springs, steel wire ropes, prestressed concrete wires, tire bead wire, nails, tools, and musical instrument strings. Its excellent tensile strength and elasticity make it ideal for load-bearing and dynamic components.
Q: What processing methods are used for high carbon wire rod?
A: It is typically hot rolled and then subjected to surface descaling, spheroidizing annealing, and cold drawing, depending on the end application. The rod must have uniform grain structure and good drawability for fine wire production.
Q: What are the typical mechanical properties of high carbon wire rod?
A: After appropriate heat treatment and drawing, high carbon wire can achieve tensile strength levels of 1000–2000 MPa, depending on the carbon content and processing. It also offers good fatigue resistance and surface hardness.
Q: Is high carbon wire rod weldable or easy to form?
A: Due to its high carbon content, it is not easily weldable and requires controlled heat treatment if welding is necessary. While it can be cold drawn or heat-treated, it is less ductile than low carbon steel, making it more suitable for specific high-strength applications rather than general fabrication.
