Comprehensive Overview of Flat Wire: Production, Machines, and Alloys

Flat Wire Production Lines

Flat wire is characterized by its rectangular cross-section and a smooth, bright surface, cold rolled and cold drawn flat wiremaking it suitable for various applications in industries such as construction, automotive, and manufacturing. The edges of flat wire can either adopt a natural arc shape, which provides flexibility in certain uses, or a sharp acute angle shape, offering enhanced precision for applications requiring tighter tolerances. The production process is primarily completed through cold rolling or cold drawing techniques, which not only improve the wire’s mechanical properties but also ensure a consistent thickness and surface finish. These attributes make flat wire an essential component in the creation of products ranging from springs to decorative elements.

Cold Rolled Flat Wire

Cold Rolled Flat wire is produced through cold rolling, a process in which the wire is rolled and bent at room temperature to alter its cross-sectional shape. Unlike hot rolling, cold rolling includes several surface treatment steps, such as pickling and phosphate coating, to achieve a smooth, high accuracy and flat surface with enhanced precision and quality.

Cold Drawn Flat Wire

A flat steel wire is made by cold drawing process. To produce the flat steel wires, the raw materials are picked, rolled, drawn, and other processes are done in order to form the desired specifications. Cold drawn flat steel has a higher technical requirement and a more complex production process than hot rolled flat steel wires.
