Drawn wire

Individuality meets flexibility.

Drawn wire for demanding industries

Drawn wire from voestalpine Wire Technology stands for the highest precision in terms of dimensional accuracy, surface quality and mechanical properties. Thanks to our modern facilities and decades of material expertise, we can produce exactly to your requirements - in a wide variety of geometries, alloys and strengths.

Whether for cold heading wires, springs, chains or roller ball bearings, as flat or profiled wire, for prestressing steels or complex components: We supply reliable, tailor-made and reliable drawn wire for a wide range of industrial sectors.

Advantages of drawn wire

  • Maximum dimensional accuracy and surface quality: Precise diameters, extremely tight tolerances and smooth, homogeneous surfaces are ideal for reliable further processing.
  • Individual material properties and further processing: Targeted strength, toughness and formability, combined with heat and surface treatments tailored to the customer's application.
  • Wide range of products: Comprehensive portfolio including cold heading wire, free-cutting steel wire, prestressing steel wire, flat wire and shaped wire from a single source for a wide range of applications.
  • State-of-the-art production and testing technologies: Efficient production facilities and integrated inspection systems (e.g. optical, ultrasonic, eddy current) ensure consistently high quality and low complaint rates.
  • Customized solutions and assembly: Products tailored exactly to requirements - from geometries and quantities to the desired packaging and documentation.
  • Reliable logistics and worldwide supply: Flexible and on time - with individual packaging concepts and global delivery capability.

Product

Typical application

Cold heading wire

Wire for cold heading and cold extrusion in the size range 0.50 mm - 49.00 mm for demanding applications

Bearing steel wire

Our bearing steel wires are specially optimized for the production of ball bearings, roller bearings and needle bearings

Flat and shaped wire

Our drawn and rolled flat and shaped wires with cross-sections from approx. 2 mm² to 200 mm² meet the highest quality standards.

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

Spring steel wire

Our spring steel wire meets the highest quality standards. Our customers also benefit from our comprehensive materials competence and expertise

Free-cutting steel wire

Free-cutting steel wire for processing on automated machine tools

Low-carbon wire

Iron wires are 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

Frequently asked questions about drawn wire (FAQs)

  • 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.
