What is a Wire Rod?
A wire rod is a long finished product made by hot-rolling a billet into a coil, which is then drawn into wire. It can be made of carbon, copper, aluminum and other alloys, and can have a round, square or rectangular cross-section. Available in a variety of lengths, sizes and composition, the wire rod can be used to satisfy an array of construction and industrial purposes.
Wire rod in the Philippines are usually used for:
- Electrical applications - Wire rods are typically used in carrying mechanical loads, transporting telecommunication signals and transmitting electric current.
- Fencing - Rods are used to enclose homes, properties and farms for the protection and safeguarding of valuable assets.

- Automobile parts - These include tire cords, springs, wheel bearings, steering and suspension systems.
- Shipment and storage - Wire rods can support heavy cargo, especially if the bundles are rigid and well-formed.
What are the advantages of using wire rods?
The advantages of using wire rod include:
- Malleability - Wire rods are formed into specific shapes through processes such as forging, drawing or machining, and then heat-treated to achieve a desired strength. This ensures the quality and performance of the wire rod, regardless of the intended purpose.
- Versatility - Wire rods can be found as a component in electrodes, automotive parts, steel reinforcement, connecting elements like nuts and bolts, tire cords, and more.
- Quality - Before it becomes available to various wire rod suppliers in the Philippines for public consumption, wire rods undergo certification and testing to ensure their quality.
- Electrode quality - One common advantage of using a wire rod is that it has an electrode quality, which means that it is a good conductor that can carry electric current to or from a source of power, or any piece of equipment.
- Cold-heading quality - Wire rods are mostly formed through a process called cold heading, hence they have more tensile strength and fatigue resistance.
