Coils (Wire rods)

b) Low carbon steel suitable for cold drawing to finer sizes
1- These grades are produced according to special EGE CELIK standard.
2- Selected scrap is charged to the electric arc furnaces in order
to control the impurity elements such as Cu, Cr and Ni.
3- Eccentric bottom tapping and bottom purging systems are employed
at the electric arc furnaces in order to control the slag amount and composition.
4- Aluminum and manganese deoxidation is carried out.
5- Modification of the inclusions is achieved by Ca-wire injection
method after the ladle treatment.
6- Billets are hot rolled in NKK/Japanese-VAI/U.K. rolling combi
mill with narrow tolerances both in size and shape.
7- Fast or retarded cooling modes are achieved at the controlled
cooling conveyor in order to reach the desired mechanical properties and
scale characteristics.
8- Surface oxide is suitable for mechanical descaling and chemical
pickling.
9- Wire rods of 5.5-18 mm are compacted and secured automatically
with four wire ties forming coils of approximately 1500 kg.
Two tags covering the details of the heat are attached.
10- Traceability of the product is ensured at all stages from tapping
to aftersale services with its specific heat number.
11- Certificates comprising chemical analysis and mechanical properties
referring to the heat number are dispatched with delivery.
