Oily Annealed Black Wire is manufactured using low carbon steel, which undergoes an annealing process to enhance its ductility and reduce its hardness. This annealing process is followed by a coating of protective oil, which serves to prevent rust and corrosion, making it suitable for various industrial applications. The combination of low carbon content and annealing treatment results in a wire that is both flexible and durable, suitable for binding, baling, and tying applications.

Wire Diameter Range

The wire is available in a wide range of diameters, typically from 1.5 mm to 5.5 mm.

  • 1.5 mm (0.059 inches) wire
  • 2.6 mm (0.102 inches) wire
  • 5.5 mm (0.217 inches) wire

Standard Wire Gauge (SWG) Sizes

Oily Annealed Black Wire is categorized by Standard Wire Gauge (SWG) sizes, ranging from SWG 3 to SWG 23:

  • SWG 3: Approximately 5.5 mm (0.217 inches) in diameter.
  • SWG 10: Approximately 3.25 mm (0.128 inches) in diameter
  • SWG 12: Approximately 2.64 mm (0.104 inches) in diameter
  • SWG 16: Approximately 1.63 mm (0.064 inches) in diameter
  • SWG 23: Approximately 0.64 mm (0.025 inches) in diameter

These sizes allow for precise selection of wire based on the requirements of the task at hand, whether it's for heavy-duty baling or delicate tying.

Tensile Strength

The tensile strength of Oily Annealed Black Wire varies depending on the specific wire diameter and the degree of annealing. Common tensile strength values range from 305 to 700 N/mm², with some variations falling between 260 to 590 N/mm². This range of tensile strength ensures that the wire can withstand various levels of stress without breaking, making it ideal for binding heavy loads or securing materials in place.
