What are the different uses of wire rod and thread steel?
According to statistics, China's construction industry accounts for about 50% of the total steel consumption. As one of the resources consuming industries, the construction industry must adjust the consumption structure of construction materials, energetically apply high-strength steel bars and high-performance coagulation, and take the road of economical development. If the current use of steel and concrete to raise an intensity level, it can bring enormous savings to society. For example, by calculation, according to the standard requirements, if the reinforced concrete leading force steel strength increased to 400-500N/mm2, then can be in the current level of steel consumption to save about 10%.
Thread steel is widely used in housing, bridges, roads and other civil engineering construction. From the highway, railway, bridges, culverts, tunnels, dams, flood control and other public facilities, small building foundation, beams, columns and walls, plates, rebar structure is indispensable material.
The wire is widely used, in addition to the direct reinforcement for building, and also can be processed into various kinds of special wire, such as spring steel wire and wire, galvanized wire, communication wire, steel cord, steel strand, etc.; it can also be processed into other metal products, such as rivets, screws, nails, etc.. According to data statistics, the general national wire output accounted for 5-15% of total steel output. China is now in the period of economic development, and a large number of wire rods are still needed for urban construction and settlement of residents' living conditions. In addition, the domestic demand for metal products increased, and the export volume of international trade continued to expand. China's wire output accounted for about 15% of the total output of steel.
