The Complete Guide to Hard Drawn Wire (BRC Wire) and How it is Used in Construction

2022-12-26

Introduction: What is Hard Drawn Wire [BRC Wire]?

Hard Drawn Wire [BRC Wire] is a type of steel wire that is made by drawing it through progressively smaller dies to produce a wire with a diameter of .0025 inches(0.63 millimeters) or less. The wire is then annealed, cold-rolled and drawn again to produce a wire with a diameter of .0015 inches (0.38 millimeters) or less.

What are the Different Types of Hard Drawn Wire?

There are three types of hard drawn wire: round, square, and hex. Round wire is one of the most commonly used wires in the industry. It is used for a number of purposes including baling, binding, and tying. Square wire is also used for binding and tying but it has more strength than round wire so it can withstand heavier loads. Hexagonal wire has six sides and can be bent, twisted, and formed into a variety of shapes. There are six types of soft drawn wire: round, square, hexagonal, flat-ribbed steel wire, flat-ribbed aluminum wire, and flattened steel wire. Round soft drawn wire is the most commonly used type in the industry. It is used for a number of purposes including baling hay and straw when it has been cut with an electric or gas powered shear. Square soft drawn wires are also used for binding and tying but they have more strength than round soft drawn wire so they can withstand heavier loads. 

What are the Benefits of Using Hard Drawn Wire?

Hard drawn wire is a type of wire that is drawn through a die to create a specific shape. Hard drawn wire is made from high quality steel, and it can be used for a variety of applications, including jewelry, wire wrapping, and other crafting projects.

How to Choose the Right Type of Wires for Your Project?

Wires are an essential part of any electrical project and choosing the right type of wire is important. There are three main types of wires - copper, aluminum, and steel - that vary in their conductivity, durability, and cost. Conductivity: The conductivity of a wire is the measure of how well it conducts electricity. The higher the number, the better it conducts electricity. Copper wires are rated at 99% conductivity while aluminum wires are rated at 60%. Steel wires have a rating of 30%. Durability: Durability refers to how long a wire will last before it breaks or becomes damaged. Aluminum and steel wires have a rating of up to 10 years while copper can last up to100 years. Cost: The cost of a wire is determined by the amount of conductivity, durability, and weight. 

Conclusion: The Right Choice for Your Construction Project
