Coils (Wire rods) a) Low carbon steel suitable for cold drawing 1- These grades are produced according to ASTM and DIN standards. It is also possible to produce grades with some deviations in analysis on special request. 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- Silicon and aluminum deoxidation is carried out. 5- Billets are hot rolled in NKK/Japanese-VAI/U.K. rolling combi mill with narrow tolerances both in size and shape. 6- Fast or retarded cooling modes are achieved at the controlled cooling conveyor in order to reach the desired mechanical properties and scale characteristics. 7- Surface oxide is suitable for mechanical descaling and chemical pickling. 8- 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. 9- Traceability of the product is ensured at all stages from tapping to aftersale services with its specific heat number. 10- Certificates comprising chemical analysis and mechanical properties referring to the heat number are dispatched with delivery.
