Processing & Heat Treatment

Cold Drawing: Improves strength and surface finish.
Annealing: Softens the wire for further forming (heated to ~700°C, slow cooling).
Quenching & Tempering: Heated to ~800°C (oil quenched), then tempered at 300-600°C for toughness.
Spheroidizing: Improves machinability (heated below critical temperature).

Packaging

Coiled on spools or in bundles (100-500 kg).
Protective coatings (oil, phosphating) to prevent rust.
Wooden or steel pallets for heavy coils.

Applications

Springs (coil, torsion, leaf).
Wire Ropes & Cables (lifting, rigging).
Fasteners (high-strength bolts, screws).
Cutting Tools (knives, blades).
Automotive Parts (shafts, gears).
Agricultural Machinery (plows, harrows).
