Product Detail
SAE 1010 has a higher carbon range than 1008, providing enhanced strength while maintaining ductility for drawing and galvanizing. It is widely specified when the finished wire needs a moderate strength boost without switching to medium carbon grades.
Applications
SAE 1010 wire rod is widely used in galvanized wire products and welded mesh where intermediate strength is required.
Galvanized Wire — SAE 1010 wire rod is drawn and hot-dip or electro-galvanized for gabion baskets, chain-link fencing, barbed wire, and agricultural netting.
Welded Wire Mesh — Drawn SAE 1010 wire feeds automatic welding lines producing panels for concrete reinforcement, road barriers, and industrial racking.
General Purpose Wire — Baling wire, tying wire, armouring cable, and binding wire are commonly produced from SAE 1010 rod.
Quality Assurance
Our operations span billet qualification, hot rolling, and coil finishing with 30 years industry experience. Quality includes dimensional verification and mechanical testing. Pre-production samples and final inspection are standard. Trial orders from 5 tons welcome.
FAQ
How does SAE 1010 differ from SAE 1008?
SAE 1010 has higher carbon (0.08–0.13%) versus SAE 1008 (0.10% max), providing slightly higher tensile strength while maintaining drawability. Preferred when finished wire needs a strength boost.
Is SAE 1010 suitable for hot-dip galvanizing?
Yes. SAE 1010 is commonly specified for galvanized products. Its surface responds well to pickling and produces consistent zinc coating adhesion.
What diameters are available?
We supply SAE 1010 wire rod from 5.5mm to 12.5mm, with 5.5mm and 6.5mm being most common for galvanized wire and mesh.
