Focus on black annealed wire by Metallurgica Locatelli

Production and customized supply

Metallurgica Locatelli is a long-established manufacturer of low-carbon steel wire, with over a century of experience in the wire drawing sector. Among the company’s flagship products is black annealed steel wire, a drawn and annealed steel wire that combines ductility, strength, and ease of use for multiple industrial, agricultural, and construction applications.

Technical characteristics and available formats

Black annealed wire by Metallurgica Locatelli is available in a wide diameter range, from Ø 0.70 mm to Ø 10.00 mm, with controlled tolerances to ensure dimensional accuracy.

The product can be supplied in various formats:

• large coils
• coils
• spools
• cut-to-length bars from 200 mm to 4000 mm upon customer request
• loop tie wire.

These options allow black annealed wire to be adapted to specific production, storage, or end-use requirements.

To complete the technical profile, black annealed wire is manufactured in accordance with UNI EN 16120-2, the reference standard for non-alloy steel wire, with control of dimensional and mechanical requirements.

Advantages and fields of application

The main advantage of black annealed wire is its combination of ductility and mechanical strength, which makes it ideal for:

• manual tying and fastening
• fastening of mesh, fencing, and scaffolding
• agricultural applications
• uses in construction and general industry
• packing in presses at plastic recycling plants and sites

The typical black finish resulting from the annealing process is due to the use of methane gas, which makes the material suitable for tying applications.

Customization on request

In addition to standard formats, Metallurgica Locatelli offers custom cutting services into bars according to customer specifications. This allows optimization of black annealed wire usage across different production or application processes, reducing waste and preparation time in the workshop.
