Wires

Wires are produced by drawing from the initial rolled wire (wire rod – wire produced by rolling) on a wire drawing machine. The most commonly used non-ferrous metals for wire production are copper, aluminium, brass, bronze, zinc and steel (stainless steel, carbon steel). The surface of the wire is mostly shiny, for certain applications matte wire is produced – for example, drawn in soap (soap coated) for the production of springs from stainless steel or phosphated from carbon steel. Copper and aluminum wires are mainly used in the production of wires and cables, but also in the production of fasteners (rivets, nails) and as lightning conductors. Brass wires are used for decorative purposes – making traditional chandeliers. Stainless steel and steel wires are the basic material for the production of all types of springs. Stainless steel wires are also used in the medical, chemical and food industries.
