What Equipment is Used to Produce Stainless Steel Rectangular Wire?
Stainless steel rectangular wire, also referred to as stainless flat wire, is a specialized wire product featuring a flat, rectangular cross-section. It is widely utilized across industries such as electronics, precision components, automotive, medical, and aerospace. Based in China, our factory specializes in manufacturing flat wire rolling mills and flat wire drawing machines. These machines typically process stainless steel round wire as the primary raw material.
Process for Shaping Round Wire into Rectangular Profiles
Sky Bluer specializes in shaping round wire into a rectangular profile using cold rolling and wire drawing processes. In cold rolling, the wire passes through precision rollers in multiple stages, gradually forming a rectangular shape with controlled R angles. Sky Bluer utilizes two-roller mills for basic shaping and 4 Hi rolling mills for enhanced precision. For wire drawing, the round wire is pulled through progressively smaller dies, forming the rectangular profile with lubrication and cooling to minimize friction. After shaping, Sky Bluer applies annealing to relieve stress and surface finishing to enhance durability. These processes ensure the production of high-precision, uniform rectangular wire suitable for a variety of applications
What Types of Wire Can Be Processed With a Flattening Machine?
Sky Bluer’s wire flattening machines are capable of processing a wide range of materials, including stainless steel, DC01, copper, aluminum, carbon steel, brass, tantalum, nickel alloys, titanium, as well as ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Our machines are specifically designed to flatten wire for use in a variety of industries. Stainless steel wire is ideal for corrosion-resistant applications in sectors like medical and aerospace, while copper and aluminum wires are frequently used in electrical and electronic components. Carbon steel wire is suited for heavy-duty industrial applications, and brass wire is often used for decorative and electrical purposes. Additionally, nickel alloys and titanium wires are processed for specialized applications in high-temperature environments. Sky Bluer’s wire flattening machines provide the flexibility needed to meet the diverse demands of different materials and industries.
What is the Difference Between a Flat Wire Machine and a Rectangular Wire Machine?
A flat wire machine, also known as a wire flattener or wire flattening machine, is designed to produce wire with a consistent thickness and a rectangular cross-section. The wire produced may not have sharp, well-defined edges but instead features a slightly rounded or beveled profile. These machines are commonly used in applications where a simple, uniform flat shape is needed, such as for electrical wiring, connectors, and various industrial purposes.

A rectangular wire machine, also referred to as a profile rolling machine or Turks head mill, is designed to produce wire with precise dimensions, including well-defined width and thickness. The edges of the wire are sharp and clearly formed. These machines are typically used in applications that require high precision, such as in the manufacturing of medical devices, precision components, or wire for advanced electronic equipment. Rectangular wire machines are generally more sophisticated, providing tighter tolerance control to meet the specific requirements of various industries.
What Is the Production Speed Or Output Capacity of The Machine?
On average, modern machines can process wire at speeds ranging from 20 to 700 meters per minute, though this can vary significantly based on factors such as machine model, wire material and diameter, final dimensions, and the number of rolling passes. For more precise information, it is advisable to refer to the specifications of the particular machine model or consult the manufacturer. Sky Bluer can offer detailed insights based on the specific machine types and customer requirements.
