Exploring the features of bright drawn wire with Trafileria Galbani

Trafileria Galbani stands as a historic landmark in the field of iron wire drawing, especially when it comes to bright drawn wire. But what does "bright" wire mean? And what are the characteristics that set it apart? Let's discover them together with Trafileria Galbani.

"Bright" means quality
In the metal wire industry, the term "bright" refers to a surface without coatings. This means that Trafileria Galbani's drawn wires have a smooth and clean surface, which is ideal for many applications where the aesthetics of the material is essential.

The heart of the wire: unalloyed carbon steels
Trafileria Galbani's bright drawn wire is made from unalloyed steels with less than 0.08% carbon. This composition gives the material strength and ductility, making it ideal for various industrial applications, including the production of metal fasteners, nails, staples, bolts, screws, and much more.

From billet to bright wire
The production process begins with a non-heat-treated steel billet. This undergoes a drawing process in which it is pulled by capstans through precision dies to achieve the desired diameter. The process can occur before, during, or after heat treatment, depending on the specific requirements of the end application. This manufacturing step allows for the production of flexible metal wires with a range of different carbon content to meet various production needs.

Diameters and Packaging
Trafileria Galbani offers a range of bright drawn wires with diameters ranging from 2.30 mm to 6.80 mm. The wires can be packaged in various ways: coils from 200 to 1000 kg, spools from 500 to 1200 kg, and upon request, they can be provided with stretch film protection. Furthermore, for diameters from 2.70 mm to 6.80 mm, you can choose packaging in coils weighing from 500 kg to 1000 kg for easier wire management.
