Drawn wire from voestalpine Wire Technology stands for excellent dimensional accuracy, surface quality, and mechanical properties. Thanks to modern facilities and decades of materials expertise, we manufacture exactly to your requirements - in various geometries, alloys, and strengths. Whether cold heading wires, springs, chains, roller bearings, flat or profile wire, prestressing steel, or complex components: We deliver tailor-made drawn wire solutions for demanding industrial sectors - wherever precision, strength, and repeatability are required.
✔ From ore to wire
✔ 400+ steel alloys
✔ Own R&D facilities
✔ CO2 reduced processes
Applications of drawn wire products
- for cold heading and cold extrusion in the size range 0.50 mm - 49.00 mm
- optimized for the production of ball bearings, roller bearings and needle bearings
- drawn and rolled flat and shaped wires with cross-sections from approx. 2 mm² to 200 mm²
Prestressing steel wire and prestressing 7-wire strands
- Railroad infrastructure, construction, energy and precast concrete parts
Coated wire (nickel, copper, zinc)
- applications that require a visually appealing surface
- unalloyed carbon steels with a carbon content of less than 0.25%. Iron wire is drawn from non-heat-treated wire rod or heat-treated before, between or after drawing
- wire for processing on automated machine tools
- applications for highest quality

FAQ: Frequently asked questions about drawn wire
-
The available diameter range varies depending on the wire type and application. You will receive more detailed information in a personal consultation.
-
We offer the tightest tolerances according to international standards or individually defined - especially for demanding applications.
-
Yes, in addition to round wire, we also produce flat and profiled wire in various geometries.
-
Of course, we offer various heat treatment processes, tailored to the desired property profile.
-
Primarily the automotive industry, energy, construction and mechanical engineering as well as electrical and fastening technology - but also many special industries.
-
Thanks to efficient production and flexible logistics, many standard products can be delivered at short notice - special dimensions by arrangement. Due to the proximity to the steelworks, castings can be influenced and delivered quickly.
-
Yes, especially in the development phase we support you with small quantities and test batches, e.g. via our R&D facilities (TechMet, MetLab). These can be supplied to our customers in our usual coil weights and dimensions to enable realistic trials.
