Black Annealed Low Carbon Wire for Packing, Tying and General Fabrication (1.6–12.5 mm)

  • Diameter range: 1.6 mm – 12.5 mm
  • Tensile strength range: 500–1100 MPa depending on diameter
  • Made from low carbon steel with heat treatment and annealing
  • Smooth surface, suitable for bending, drawing, and roll threading
  • Used for packing, tying, racks, hooks, baskets and shelving

Made to order to your diameter, coating, tensile grade and standard — request a quote for price, minimum order quantity and lead time.

Black annealed low carbon wire is manufactured by cold drawing followed by heat treatment to produce a clean and smooth finish. It offers excellent ductility and moderate tensile strength, making it ideal for tying, bundling, packing, shelving, and general fabrication tasks. With a diameter range from 1.6 mm to 12.5 mm, this wire is commonly used in supermarket trolleys, baskets, racks, hooks and general fabrication. The annealed surface enables easy handling and moderate bending, while still retaining good mechanical performance.

Who it is for

Mesh and fencing producers, agricultural and industrial manufacturers, and distributors sourcing galvanized, Galfan or coated steel wire to a specific diameter, coating and temper.

Standards, certificates & inspection

Manufactured and tested to ASTM A641, EN 10244-2, BS EN 10218 or your customer standard. Every batch is produced under an ISO 9001 quality management system and can ship with a mill test certificate covering diameter, tensile strength and zinc-coating weight. Third-party or pre-shipment inspection (SGS, BV or customer-appointed) is available on request.

See test reports & inspection and quality control & testing for the full documentation.

Frequently asked questions

What is black annealed wire used for?

Soft, dark low-carbon wire for packing, tying, bundling and general fabrication where pliability matters more than corrosion resistance.

Is it coated?

No — it is uncoated (light oil optional). For outdoor or corrosion-exposed tying, use galvanized binding wire instead.

What sizes and packing are available?

Roughly 1.6–12.5 mm in coils or small packs; diameter, temper and pack are confirmed per order.
