PROCESS PATHWAYS

Steel Wire Processing Routes

The following process routes show how wire rod is transformed through pickling, phosphating, drawing, annealing, and skin pass operations according to product requirements.

1

SA ROD

Wire Rod → Pickling → Spheroidizing Annealing

Wire Rod → Pickling → Spheroidizing Annealing → Pickling + Phosphating

2

SAFS

Wire Rod → Pickling & Phosphating → Hard Drawing → Spheroidizing Annealing

Wire Rod → Pickling & Phosphating → Hard Drawing → Spheroidizing Annealing → Pickling + Phosphating

3

SAFS 2

Wire Rod → Pickling → Softening Annealing → Pickling + Phosphating → Hard Drawing → Spheroidizing Annealing

Wire Rod → Pickling → Softening Annealing → Pickling + Phosphating → Hard Drawing → Spheroidizing Annealing → Pickling + Phosphating

4

SAIP / PASAIP
