Cold-drawn steel, square steel and hexagonal steel (GB/T905-1994)
Cold-drawn steel, also known as cold-drawn steel rod and cold-drawn steel wire, is a type of steel product obtained by cold drawing or cold rolling. Its characteristics are uniform hardenability and higher surface roughness than hot-rolled steel and finished steel. Due to its hot rolled steel and finished steel, cold drawn steel and related products are widely used in construction, metallurgy, shipbuilding, electric power, automotive, agricultural, textile and other industries.
Square steel refers to a cross-sectional profile of a steel bar, which is close to a square shape. According to the production process, it can be divided into cold-drawn steel, hot-rolled square steel, extruded square steel and machine square steel. Square steel is widely used in mineral exploration, large bridges, ships, high-rise buildings, fences, coal mines, machinery manufacturing, construction infrastructure and other parts, with a wide range of applications.
Hexagonal steel is also known as hexagonal steel bars and hexagonal steel wires. They are all obtained by cold-drawing or cold-rolling stainless and carbon steel. The standard hexagonal steel is mainly GB/T998-1988, GB/T905-1994 and GB/T3308-1999. Hexagonal steel is widely used in petrochemical, automobile and aerospace, because of its good strength, constant size and good rigidity, etc.
Cold drawn steel, square steel and hexagonal steel are high-quality steel products. Their uniform hardenability, higher surface roughness and good physical properties ensure the production quality and product specifications of the products. In addition, they are also widely used in many different industries due to their suitable cross-sectional profiles. As such, they have become an important part of the steel industry.
