Product Detail
SAE 1008 is a low carbon mild steel grade per ASTM A510, commonly used for wire drawing due to its balanced ductility and consistent mechanical behavior across the coil. It performs reliably in multi-pass drawing and cold forming applications.
Applications
SAE 1008 low carbon wire rod is the standard feedstock for wire drawing and cold forming operations.
General Wire Drawing — SAE 1008 rod is drawn through carbide dies to produce mild steel wire for construction tying, baling, fencing, and binding applications.
Galvanized Wire — Drawn SAE 1008 wire is hot-dip or electro-galvanized for gabions, chain-link fencing, barbed wire, and agricultural mesh.
Cold Heading & Forming — The low carbon content makes SAE 1008 suitable for screws, bolts, rivets, and cold-formed fasteners.

FAQ
What is SAE 1008 best suited for?
SAE 1008 is most commonly used for general wire drawing, galvanized wire production, cold heading, and mild steel wire products requiring good formability.
Does SAE 1008 require annealing before drawing?
In most applications, SAE 1008 can be drawn directly without annealing. The specific schedule depends on the target wire diameter.
What diameter tolerances do you maintain?
SAE 1008 wire rod is supplied to ±0.03mm to ±0.05mm diameter tolerance depending on size, per ASTM A510 requirements.
