SAE 1080 Tire Cord-Quality Steel Wire Rod

Hot-rolled steel wire rod in irregularly wound coils, of circular cross section under 14 mm diameter, specifically manufactured to high tensile strength standards for tire cord production as defined in statistical note 5 to chapter 72. This nonalloy steel product is not tempered, treated, or partly manufactured, making it ideal for drawing into fine filaments used in radial tire reinforcement. Its precise chemistry and microstructure ensure superior fatigue resistance in tire applications.

High Carbon 0.82% C Tire Cord Steel Wire Rod

Tire cord-quality wire rod per statistical note 5, featuring 0.82% carbon content, hot-rolled in coils with diameter <14 mm, untempered and untreated for direct drawing into tire reinforcement filaments. This nonalloy steel meets stringent cleanliness and uniformity standards essential for radial tire belt cords. Used by tire manufacturers for passenger car and light truck tires.

NTW-1085 Tire Cord-Quality Wire Rod

NTW-1085 grade steel wire rod designed specifically for tire cord per statistical note 5, hot-rolled in irregularly wound coils, circular cross-section <14 mm, not partly manufactured. High strength and ductility make it suitable for fine wire drawing used in steel-belted tire construction. Nonalloy composition optimized for drawability and cord performance.

0.96% Carbon HT Tire Cord Steel Rod

Ultra-high carbon (0.96%) tire cord-quality steel wire rod as described in statistical note 5, supplied in hot-rolled coils with sub-14 mm diameter cross section, untreated. Engineered for high tensile strength cords in heavy-duty truck and aircraft tires. Meets exacting metallurgical specs for minimal inclusions and uniform microstructure.

JIS SWRH 982 Tire Cord Wire Rod

JIS SWRH 982 specification tire cord-quality steel wire rod meeting U.S. statistical note 5 criteria, hot-rolled in irregular coils, circular <14 mm diameter, not treated. Japanese standard high-carbon rod optimized for tire cord wire drawing with excellent cold heading properties. Widely used by global tire manufacturers.
