BORON STEEL WIRE - Introduction, Types, Properties, Uses, and Manufacturing Process

-


Boron Steel Wire is a type of steel wire that has a small amount of boron in it. The amount of boron is approximately 0.0005% to 0.003%. Boron when added to the steel, acts as a hardening agent. It increases the strength of the wire and improves the wear and tear resistance. In this blog, we will discuss every minor detail of Boron Steel Wire. 

Types of Boron Steel Wire 

Boron Steel Wire is basically of 2 types:

Low Carbon Boron Steel Wire - 

In this type of Boron Steel Wire, the carbon content is very low. This Boron Steel Wire is highly ductile and hence easy to work with.

High Carbon Boron Steel Wire - 

In this type of Boron Steel Wire, the carbon content is high as compared to Low-carbon Boron Steel Wire. An increase in carbon content decreases the softness of the wire.  

Properties of Boron Steel Wire

Hardness - 

Boron when combined with Carbon form Boron Carbide. Boron Carbide is an extremely hard substance. Therefore when Boron is added to the steel it reacts with the carbon present in the steel and provides extreme hardness to the steel. 

Ductility - 

Boron Steel Wire has good ductility. It can be bent, cut, or molded into different shapes without breaking or cracking.

High Wear and Tear Resistance – 

Boron Steel Wire has high wear and tear resistance as compared to traditional steel wire. This is because of its high tensile strength and high hardness. 

Manufacturing Process of Boron Steel Wire 

Addition of Boron - 

Boron is added to the steel at the initial stage of steel manufacturing. There are 2 types of adding boron in steel. One is passing the wire from a Boron-rich solution. Another is adding the boron to the steel during the molten stage. 

Casting - 

The mixture of Boron and steel is then solidified into billets or slabs. This makes their further processing easy.

Hot Rolling - 

These large billets are then passed through hot rollers in order to decrease their diameter. The billets are converted into wire rods so that their further processing becomes easy. 

Cold Drawing Process - 

The wire rods are then passed through the series of dies and drums. This helps in achieving the desired gauge of wire. The number of drums and dies depends on the size of the wire required.

Annealing - 

The Boron Steel Wire then undergoes an annealing process. Wires are heated in the furnace at a very high temperature for about 7-8 hours. This enhances the physical properties of the wire. 

Finishing - 

At last, an anti-rust coating is applied on the Boron Steel Wire. 

Uses of Boron Steel Wire 

Boron Steel Wire is used in the manufacturing of fasteners, springs, nails, knives, blades, wire mesh, fences, ropes, etc.

In Conclusion, Boron Steel Wire is widely used in the steel industry because of its hardness and wide range of applications. Vishal Industries manufactures Premium Quality Boron Steel Wire along with MS Wire (HB & HHB), and Annealed Wire. We have been known for our Premium Quality Wires since 1987.

Difference between Annealed Wire and GI Wire

-
Image
Steel Wire is the most commonly used material nowadays. Every wire has its own significance for particular projects. Some wires are famous for their high tensile strength, while some are for their anti-corrosion properties. To know which type of wire is best for your project, you should know the difference between all types of steel wires. In this blog, we will discuss the major differences between Annealed Wire and GI Wire. What is Annealed Wire? Annealed Wire is a type of low-carbon steel wire made from MS Wire (Mild Steel Wire). MS Wire undergoes Annealing Process in which we heat the wire in a furnace at around 840 degrees Celsius for about 8-10 hours. After that, the wire is cooled down to room temperature. This annealing process enhances the physical properties of the wire. What is GI Wire/Galvanized Wire? GI Wire is manufactured by passing wire through a hot dip molten zinc solution. This process is known as the Galvanization process. The extra zinc layer acts as a bar...

  Owning your own business can seem like quite the scary prospect if you’ve never done it before, but it doesn’t have to be as challenging as you think. Owning your own manufacturing business in particular doesn’t have to be as challenging as you might think, either! Here are five reasons why starting and running your own manufacturing business might just be perfect for you. 1) Manufacturing businesses are diverse One of the best things about manufacturing businesses is that they're diverse. You can produce something as simple as plastic bags or as complicated as circuit boards and many different products in between. Manufacturing businesses offer their own set of challenges, but they also come with a lot more advantages than some other types of companies do. 2) Working in the factory means working with your hands One of the best things about working in a factory is that you get to work with your hands. In this day and age, it can be rare for people to have jobs that require physic...

                                                    Grades of  MS Wire    *  What is Grades in MS Wire?    The grade in steel is determined by its chemical composition, carbon content & mechanical properties.                   It is designated by both letters & numbers or a combination of both.                   It is also used to differentiate steel based on its unique properties. Four grades of Mild steel:- Low Carbon Medium carbon High Carbon Very high carbon  Grades of MS wire:-      *1008/1010   *1018   *1022   *10B21 1008/1010:- 1008 is a standard grade carbon steel of 0.1% to 0.10% of carbon content. It has good weldability & brazing ability. Its surface finishing is very good. 1010 ...
