Different types of shaped wire and their Applications
Rebar is another name for shaped wire. The shaped wire
is used to reinforce and hold tension in reinforced concrete and masonry
structures. The shaped wire is a type of construction material that is used to build structures
like bridges, buildings, bridges, dams, RCC roads, and towers. It is used in
concrete to continue providing tensile strength as the tensile strength of
concrete is significantly lower than compressive strength. Because of this, it
will be strong enough to support the structure. For withstanding the structural
load, it is embedded in concrete fibre.
There are various applications and types of shaped wire. Details will be mentioned
below in this article. The 5 types of shaped
wire are discussed as follows: –
Prestressing Shaped Wire
Prestressing shaped wire is pre-stressed by using the latest techniques from
those that are not pre-stressed. The
shaped wire is represented as strands in this model, which when deployed in
a construction frame produce prestressing action. Prestressing shaped wire is composed of a typical
strand containing anywhere from 2 to 7 wires. The tensile strength of strands
is between 250000 and 270000 psi, having a lot of flexibility.
Hot Rolled Deformed Shaped Wire
One of the most common reinforced-shaped wires used in R.C.C structures
is hot-rolled deformed bars. They have great specific strength and can be used
for a wide range of purposes.
This procedure is used to manufacture such
shaped wires resulting in the formation of ribs on the surface of the bras,
that aid in the formation of a storing bond with the concrete. It is a feature
that is found in Hot Rolled Deformed shaped
wire and not the type we previously discussed.
Worked Shaped Wire
The worked-shaped wire is a form of reinforced steel that is created from
hot-rolled bars that are further processed. These bars are made to go through
cold-working during this process. Allowing shaped
wire to undergo cold working produces a reinforcement bar. During this cold
working process, the bars will twist and draw, reducing the steel’s ductility.
Mild Steel-Shaped Wire
The above-mentioned types are among the most basic types of shaped wires, that have been long been used in building construction. Mild Steel shaped bar, as the name implies, has a plain outer layer and has lower tensile yield strength. This type of shaped wire is frequently used in constructing small structures that do not require a great deal of steel strength. Also, these shaped wires are less expensive, which makes them the most cost-effective option.
Applications of various shaped
wires
●
Flat shaped wire
The flat shaped wire is used in places such as
lifts, escalators, and subway stations where the steel isn’t exposed to the
elements. Stainless steel flat shaped
wire has a variety of applications and uses. The vast majority of flat shaped wire is used as base plates and
brackets in the construction industry.
●
Round shaped wire
One of the key
players in the machining industry is the stainless steel round shaped wire. The round shaped wire is used in manufacturing
industries that produce fasteners and machinery due to their excellent
corrosion resistance. Round shaped wire
is widely used in the manufacture of various machine parts due to their
precision straightened and mirror finish surfaces.
●
Square shaped wire
The square shaped wire is generally used to
produce medium to large-scale industrial equipment components. They are one of
the most popular categories which are widely used in the manufacturing
industry.
●
Hexagonal shaped wire
Hexagon shaped wire can be used for a variety
of purposes. Their main application is in the construction industry. They’re
manufactured for carrying a lot of weight.
