Wire rod
Source smooth hot-rolled steel wire rod coils for wire drawing and downstream manufacturing with EMRA Steel. Define the grade, diameter, processing route and destination together so the offered material can be checked against your production needs. Our enquiry range includes 5.5, 6.5, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 mm; grade, packing and shipment availability are confirmed in the quotation.
Wire Rod Diameter and Grade Selection
Compare the seven enquiry diameters below. Diameter alone does not determine the application, grade, strength or drawing suitability. SAE 1006, SAE 1008 and SAE 1012 are grade references for review; 3SP and RST34 require their complete standard designations. Agree the applicable ASTM A510/A510M or ISO 16120-2 specification and edition for the offered material. Sizes and grades are enquiry references, not a stock list.

Wire Rod Standards and Grade Selection
Select the full grade, standard edition and intended drawing or forming process together. ASTM A510/A510M describes general wire rod requirements; a grade name alone does not establish drawing quality, weldability or mechanical acceptance. Smooth wire rod is specified separately from ribbed rebar in coils.

Do not infer GOST/DIN equivalence from reference B. The EN 10204 type 3.1 certificate, when required in the order, must identify the actual heat analysis.
Wire Rod Mechanical Properties
Mechanical performance depends on the producing mill, diameter, cooling condition and downstream process. The numerical rows are separate published producer examples, not guaranteed EMRA supply values or universal SAE/DIN minima. Specify the test method, gauge length and acceptance limits for the offered lot.

Heat Analysis and Mill Test Certificate
Match the coil tag, heat number, grade, diameter and packing list to the offered certificate. Distinguish heat (cast) analysis from a separately sampled product analysis. Agree whether the certificate includes tensile results, test direction and gauge length, and any requested residual elements, decarburization or inclusion checks. An EN 10204 type 3.1 document is not the same as independent third-party inspection; any type 3.2 or witnessed inspection must be agreed separately.
Wire Rod Inspection and Acceptance
Wire Rod Inspection and Acceptance
Inspection point
Acceptance to confirm
Identification
Heat/coil numbers, grade, diameter and certificate-to-packing-list traceability.
Dimensions
Diameter variation, ovality, coil mass and inner/outer dimensions against the agreed specification.
Surface and processing
Scale, seams, laps and surface defects; decarburization or inclusion limits only where specified.
Mechanical testing
Sampling, tensile/elongation method and processing tests against agreed lot acceptance.
Shipment inspection
Coil securing, tags, weather protection, loading records and any independent inspection scope.
For an accurate quotation, include diameter, full grade/standard, quantity, finished-wire application, coil handling limits, inspection document and named destination. Chemistry or diameter alone does not establish suitability for mesh, welding wire, high-tensile wire or cold heading.
Wire Rod Technical and Buying Guide
Steel wire rod is hot-rolled feedstock supplied in coils for subsequent drawing or forming. A useful supply specification connects the finished product with the required chemistry, surface quality, dimensional acceptance and coil handling limits. Smooth wire rod and ribbed reinforcing steel in coils should be specified separately.
Wire Rod Grades for Drawing and Manufacturing
SAE 1006, SAE 1008 and SAE 1012 are grade references for enquiries. Select the full grade and governing specification for your process rather than treating them as interchangeable. If your purchasing documents name 3SP or RST34, include the complete standard and edition for technical review. Mesh quality and cold-heading quality describe application requirements; they do not replace a defined grade and acceptance specification.
Applicable Wire Rod Standards
ASTM A510/A510M addresses general requirements for carbon and alloy steel wire rods and coarse round wire. ISO 16120-2 covers general-purpose non-alloy wire rod for drawing or cold rolling. Identify the applicable standard and edition in the enquiry; these references do not establish that every offered grade complies with both. Confirm any proposed substitution against the purchase specification.
Diameter, Tolerances and Coil Handling
Specify nominal diameter together with permitted diameter variation and ovality. State the coil weight range, inner and outer dimensions and payoff-equipment limits. These are order-specific requirements, not fixed properties of every coil of the same diameter. Compare the 5.5 mm wire rod guide with the other diameter guides below before submitting the required size.
Chemical Analysis and Mechanical Acceptance
Define the chemical limits required for the selected grade and any controls on residual elements, surface defects or decarburization. Where strength, elongation or other tests are required, state the test method and acceptance criteria. Review the offered heat analysis and agreed test results rather than relying on a generic composition table or assuming that low-carbon rod suits a high-tensile application.
Inspection Documents and Traceability
State whether the order requires an EN 10204 type 3.1 inspection certificate or another inspection document. Ask for the proposed document scope, heat or batch identification and required test results to be confirmed before purchase. If independent inspection is needed, agree the inspector, inspection stage and acceptance criteria as part of the order.
Export Packing and Delivery Basis
Agree coil securing, identification, wrapping and any corrosion-protection requirements with the shipment method and storage conditions. Include the receiving equipment and unloading arrangements. For a city or inland destination, discuss a suitable any-mode delivery rule; for a named destination port, CFR or CIF may be relevant. FOB refers to a named port of shipment. Confirm the selected rule, named place or port and Incoterms 2020 edition in the offer.
Wire Rod Quotation and Price Factors
Grade, diameter, coil specification, inspection scope, quantity, shipment schedule and freight basis affect a wire rod quotation. Compare offers against the same technical acceptance criteria and delivery terms. Send the country, city or port, quantity and unit through the quotation form, and state any origin or documentation restrictions for review.
Wire Rod Buyer Questions
What information should I send for a wire rod quotation?
Start with diameter, full grade and standard, quantity, intended processing and destination. Add diameter tolerances, coil handling limits, packing and inspection-document requirements. This gives the sales and technical review a defined basis without implying a confirmed stock position.
Can coil weight and packaging be specified for my equipment?
Include your acceptable coil weight and inner and outer dimensions, together with any strapping or wrapping requirements. The quotation should confirm the offered configuration and handling compatibility; a diameter listing alone does not confirm these details.
Can I compare a delivered city quotation with a port quotation?
Compare the named delivery point, included transport, unloading, customs responsibilities and insurance before comparing the amounts. A city delivery and a destination-port shipment may cover different costs and responsibilities, even for the same grade and quantity.
