0.5mm Annealed Low Carbon Wire
This is a 0.5mm diameter, soft annealed round wire made of low carbon, non-alloy steel with less than 0.25% carbon. It is not plated or coated, and the annealing process softens the wire for better formability in applications like electronics harnesses and jewelry making. It is classified under 7217.10.00 as wire of iron or non-alloy steel, not plated or coated, whether or not polished.
