Annealed Low Carbon Steel Wire
Annealed low carbon steel wire is a soft annealed wire of non-alloy steel with less than 0.25% carbon, used for mesh weaving and light fabrication. The annealing process softens the wire for further working, and it is classified as other wire of iron or non-alloy steel. It is available in various gauges for industrial applications.
