Alloy Steel Wire Rods

Alloy Steel Wire Rods are hot-rolled, cylindrical steel products enhanced with intentional additions of alloying elements (e.g., chromium, molybdenum, nickel, vanadium) to improve mechanical properties—such as strength, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature stability—beyond those of plain carbon steel. They are typically categorized by alloy content and application:
Low-Alloy Steel Wire Rods: Contain 1–5% total alloying elements (e.g., AISI 4140, 4340), balancing strength and cost for general industrial use.
High-Alloy Steel Wire Rods: Contain >5% alloying elements (e.g., 304 stainless steel, 17-4 PH martensitic stainless steel), designed for extreme conditions (corrosion, high heat).
Specialty Alloy Wire Rods: Include superalloys (e.g., Hastelloy C276, Inconel 625) for aerospace, energy, and chemical processing, where resistance to harsh environments is critical.
