COLD REDUCED STEEL WIRE FOR THE REINFORCEMENT OF CONCRETE

Domoplex produces cold drawn deformed or plain wire either in coils or on spools. This product is used in other industries such as nail production or other wire products manufacturing. It is also used for the production of stirrups by automatic robotic machines for the reinforcement of concrete structures.

Specification

The production of cold reduced steel wires complies to BS 4482.

cold drawn deformed or plain wire

a) Mechanical Properties

  • Specified characteristic strength: 460 N/mm˛
  • Tensile Strength: min 510 N/mm˛. In addition either the tensile strength recorded in the tensile test shall be at least 5% greater than the recorded yield strength or alternatively the minimum elongation shall be not less than 12% measured on a gauge length of 5do, where 5do is the original diameter of the test piece.

b) Chemical composition of steel

  • Carbon C: max 0.25%
  • Sulphur S: max 0.060%
  • Phosphorous P: max 0.060%
  • Carbon Equivalent Value Ceq: max 0.42%
  • Where Ceq = C + Mn/6 + (Cr+V+Mo)/5 + (Cu+Ni)/15
