Introduction

Black annealed wire, also known as black annealed iron wire, is a metal wire product made from low-carbon steel wire that undergoes a special annealing process. Its “black” color comes from the oxide film formed on the surface during the annealing process.

We specialize in supplying high-quality black annealed wire to the construction, industrial, and agricultural sectors. We offer high-quality products in a comprehensive range of specifications.

The production process for black annealed wire uses low-carbon steel wire as the core raw material. The main steps are as follows:

  1. First, high-quality low-carbon steel wire with a carbon content of 0.06%-0.22% is selected as the base material, and surface impurities and oxide scale are removed.
  2. The treated wire is then placed in an annealing furnace, where it is held at 600-900°C in a protective atmosphere or air for a period of time. Internal stresses are then eliminated through slow cooling;
  3. Finally, light drawing or direct coiling results in a black annealed wire with a uniform black oxide film on the surface, which is both flexible and malleable. No complex plating or coating is required, simplifying the process and controlling costs.

Excellent flexibility and ductility

After annealing, its internal structure becomes more flexible, allowing it to bend and fold easily without breaking, making it ideal for hand bundling or machining into various shapes.

Economical and practical, with lower costs

Because it doesn’t require surface treatments like galvanizing or painting, the production process is simplified, and the cost is significantly lower than that of other materials like galvanized wire. It offers excellent value for money when rust prevention is less critical.

Excellent welding and tying properties

The material is easy to weld, providing a secure connection to other steel materials. Its smooth surface also prevents damage to items like cartons and pipes during bundling.

Basic rust resistance

The black oxide film on the surface provides basic rust protection, making it suitable for indoor or short-term outdoor projects. For long-term outdoor use, a rust-resistant paint finish is recommended for enhanced durability.
