The type of steel which incorporates the use of carbon as an integral alloying element, in essence, is popularly referred to as carbon steel. It is assorted into three distinct categories namely mild, medium and high carbon steel. The most sought-after being mild or low carbon steel. Low carbon steel is typically constructed into flat-rolled foils and straps, used for making wire, automobile and machine bodies, shipbuilding, and household gadgets. Of these, a Mild Steel Wire or MS Wire is the most popularly used form as it offers numerous advantageous traits. The steel wire which accounts for the low carbon content of around 0.05% to 0.25% is often classified as low or Mild Steel Wire (MS Wire). Such kind of product is directly utilized in the forming process. Pearlite and ferrite are the two major components found in MS Wire.

Mild Steel Wire is tough and strong but is not meant to temper smoothly. It is both pliable and flexible, and its rigidness can be improved by a process known as carburizing. MS Wire is one of the most acknowledged and demanded product types we trade, with a fairly affordable rate and a wide diversity of applications.

MS Wire is commonly used in the manufacturing of fasteners such as nuts, bolts, screws, and nails at a relatively low price making them suitable for frequent use. These can also be used in high wear and tear applications to secure the components altogether. MS Wire being easy to mold, helps these fasteners to be formed in various shapes and sizes effortlessly.

The MS Wire can easily be forged in a variety of shapes either by hand or by employing machines to meet the most specific designs. The steel wire required for making railings, fences, and gates is desired to provide good structural strength as well as an aesthetically captivating design. MS Wire being strong and hard to break, offer the best solution. It can be painted to produce enduring and low-upkeep adorning finish, and can also be galvanized to prevent corrosion.

The ductility, weldability, malleability of steel depends on the proportion of iron and carbon used to manufacture it. These elements when combined in an appropriate ratio to make MS Wire helps achieve ideal malleability. This explains why MS Wire is favored in automobile and other machine parts manufacturing processes. MS Wire thus makes its way into the making of car body kits as it requires minimal final shaping and saves time required for forging, machining, and heat treatment as needed in the case of other elements. Being quite easy to bend and shape, MS Wire, is used to manufacture various auto parts, a few of these include –

• Bed floors
• Doors
• Floor pans
• Hoods
• Roofs
• Tailgate access coves
• Truck cab backs
• Spare tire tubes

The exceptional properties offered by MS Wire have made it a standard choice to be used in making pipes and poles for carrying natural gas, water, and beer. The pipelines made using MS Wire can be easily welded into place and do not break or crack under severe pressure circumstances. These pipelines are also known to withstand severe weather conditions and other external repercussions.

MS Wire becomes an irreplaceable partner when it comes to the construction sector. Thanks to its incredible high strength, MS Wire is extensively used as a constructional frame material. It is also favored as it fulfills the wind and seismic requirements, is unaffected by fire and decay, and offers resistance to pest damage.
