Prestressed concrete wire

Nirmal Wires Pvt Ltd, an India-based manufacturer with over 50 years of experience in the wire sector, offers two types of prestressed concrete wire: indented and stranded.

Prestressed concrete is a construction material known for its ability to withstand high compressive and tensile stresses through artificial compression stress. Prestressed concrete achieves exceptional strength and durability by incorporating high-strength steel wires or strands within its structure.

Indented prestressed concrete wire 

Indented PC wire is designed to provide artificial compression stress, effectively compensating for the tensile stress exerted by external forces. This wire finds extensive use in prestressed concrete construction, ensuring that concrete experiences initial compression before bearing any applied loads. Nirmal's indented wire boasts high tensile strength, improved proportional limit, and enhanced ductility, making it an excellent choice for reinforcing concrete structures such as electric poles, panels, and precast segments for prestressed concrete pipes. Customization options in sizes and indentations are available to meet specific applications and customer requirements.

Stranded prestressed concrete wire

On the other hand, stranded PC wire is manufactured through cold drawing, stranding, and stress-relieving. This wire finds primary uses in prestressing concrete railway sleepers and bridges. With options ranging from 2-ply to 7-ply strands in various sizes, Nirmal's stranded wire offers consistency in properties and narrow tolerances. Emphasizing relaxation properties is crucial to ensure long-term stability and reliability, particularly in demanding applications.
