High carbon wires refer to wires made from high carbon steel with 0.30% to 1.00% carbon and are known for their exceptional strength, hardness, and durability. They are often used in applications where these properties are crucial, such as in the manufacturing of springs, cutting tools, and various industrial components that require resilience and resistance to wear and fatigue. The high carbon content also allows for heat treatment processes, providing further customization of the material’s mechanical characteristics. We manufacture high carbon steel wires in sizes ranging from 0.20 mm to 12.00 mm and various zinc and anti-rust coatings. All properties like hardness, tensile strength, size tolerance, coil weight etc. are maintained as per the clients’ specification(s).
The following table sets forth the key characteristics of High carbon steel wires:
