Low-carbon steel cold heading wire for fastener production

Wuxi AoTian Steel Wire Products Co., Ltd. offers cold heading quality (CHQ) wire made from low-carbon steel grades, ideal for standard fastener production that demands excellent cold formability at competitive cost. This product is designed for manufacturers of general-purpose screws, bolts, and nuts where high ductility and dimensional stability are essential.

The wire is produced through a carefully controlled sequence of pickling, cold drawing, and spheroidized annealing. This ensures a refined microstructure and soft mechanical characteristics, suitable for high-speed cold forming operations without cracking or flaking. Consistent dimensional tolerances guarantee reliable feeding and stable performance in automated processes.
