Low Carbon Steel Wire
Low carbon steel wire has < 0.20% carbon content. This is a general purpose manufacturing wire suitable for a large range of applications. This type of material has good formability, will take moderate bending or flattening, and can be roll threaded. Its strength is primarily a function of its carbon content, increasing with carbon amount. The ductility (or malleability) of carbon steel decreases as the carbon content increases.
When used for plating and coating, an excellent surface finish is imperative. Taubensee’s decades of expertise in manufacturing a first-class surface finish is what puts our low carbon wire ahead of the rest.
Taubensee Steel can adjust many variables in production and chemistry to adapt to your specific application need.
Capabilities and Available Grades
TSW offers several finished surface quality levels for our wire products including Plating Quality (Extra-Clean Smooth Bright or eXceptional Plating™), Bright Basic, and Industrial Quality (Standard Quality).
