Wire Rod – Flexible Steel Rods in Coil Form for Reinforcement and Fabrication
Wire rods are hot-rolled steel rods supplied in continuous coil form instead of straight lengths. They are widely used in reinforced concrete applications, stirrup production, mesh welding, and industrial fabrication. Thanks to their flexibility and ease of transport, wire rods offer advantages in automated and high-volume construction processes.
Key Characteristics of Wire Rods
- Coiled Form for Efficiency
Supplied in large continuous lengths, making them ideal for use in automatic bending machines, stirrup production, and cutting lines. - Smooth or Ribbed Surface
Available as plain (Grade A1) or ribbed (Grades A2, A3), depending on application requirements. Ribbed rods provide better adhesion to concrete surfaces. - Common Grades
- Grade A1 (S240) – Smooth surface, suitable for low-load applications and mesh fabrication.
- Grade A2 (S340) – Ribbed rod with moderate strength, used for stirrups and light structural work.
- Grade A3 (S400) – Ribbed high-strength rod for reinforced concrete elements.
- Standard Diameter Range
Typically available from 6 mm to 12 mm, with custom sizes upon request. - High Weldability and Ductility
Due to low carbon content, wire rods are easily weldable and highly ductile, making them suitable for complex shapes and welded meshes. - Produced to International Standards
Manufactured under standards such as EN 10080, ASTM A1064, or local standards (e.g., ISIRI 3132), ensuring quality and performance.
Common Applications of Wire Rods
Residential and Infrastructure Projects – Applied in walls, floors, slabs, and light foundations requiring speed and flexibility.
Stirrup and Rod Fabrication – Ideal for producing stirrups, rings, and tie bars in concrete columns and beams.
Welded Wire Mesh – Used in producing welded mesh for slabs, tunnels, and industrial flooring.
Precast Concrete Elements – Common in concrete blocks, pipes, and girders.
Automated Bending and Cutting – Suitable for factories with automated shaping and cutting machines.
Typical Coil Specifications
| Diameter (mm) | Coil Weight (kg) | Approx. Length (m/ton) |
|---|---|---|
| 6 | 1500 – 2000 | ~5300 |
| 8 | 1500 – 2000 | ~3330 |
| 10 | 1500 – 2000 | ~2120 |
| 12 | 1500 – 2000 | ~1470 |
Custom coil sizes, packaging, and grades are available upon request.
Why Choose WIRE ROD
Wire Rod offer speed, flexibility, and lower wastage compared to straight rebar. Their coiled form makes them easier to transport, store, and process on-site or in rebar shops. They are an ideal choice for modern construction workflows and prefabrication systems where efficiency matters.
