Steel wire and iron wire have many similarities, but carefully distinguish, will find that they are not only different in the material, but also in the product characteristics of the great difference. So when choosing, be sure to make a clear distinction between the two. Steel wire factory introduces steel wire carbon structural steel made above, generally not galvanized, used for machinery, spring. Black, very hard; Wire: made of mild steel (mild steel), galvanized, used for joining and binding. White and soft.
The main difference between the two is the carbon content. The carbon content of iron is 2.11 percent or greater, while the carbon content of steel is 2.11 percent or less. The iron carbon alloy with carbon content above 2.11% is cast iron (pig iron), which is basically not malleable and cannot be drawn into wire. Secondly, the content of impurities is different. The content of harmful impurities such as sulfur and phosphorus in steel is smaller. Steel wire general color focus, iron wire color light point, white point.
The life of the “wire”, is actually “low carbon steel wire”, carbon content in less than 0.2%. The surface is usually coated with zinc plating because it is easy to rust. Under atmospheric conditions, the galvanized layer will not rust before most of the fall off, relatively soft. The life of the “steel wire”, is carbon content in about 0.6% of the “carbon steel wire”, or carbon content in about 0.8% of the “high carbon steel wire”, they have enough hardness and elasticity after appropriate heat treatment, high strength. Uses such as winding ordinary spring and so on.
