What Are the Performance Characteristics and Application Scope of Cold Drawn Steel?

Cold drawn steel is forced to stretch under normal temperature conditions with a tensile stress exceeding the original yield point strength of the steel to cause plastic deformation of the steel to achieve the purpose of increasing the yield point strength of the steel and saving steel.

Advantages of cold drawn steel

1. High precision

The advanced manufacturing process of cold-drawn steel ensures high-precision dimensions and surface quality, making it suitable for applications in various precision fields, such as automotive, aerospace, medical, electronics, etc.

2. Good plasticity

Cold-drawn steel has high plasticity and ductility and can be easily made into parts of various shapes.

3. Corrosion resistance

Cold-drawn steel is cold-worked during the manufacturing process, resulting in higher pressure and heat treatment, making it highly corrosion-resistant.

4. Excellent mechanical properties

The cold-drawn steel manufacturing process gives it a more uniform organizational structure, making it excellent in strength and toughness.

5. Precise control of material composition

The material composition can be precisely controlled through the cold-drawn steel manufacturing process, which can meet the performance requirements of different fields.

6. Cost savings

The manufacturing cost of cold-drawn steel is relatively low, which can achieve higher efficiency and profit in process production.

Uses of cold drawn steel

Due to its high strength and high toughness, it can be widely used in engineering fields, especially in building structures, machinery and equipment manufacturing, automobiles, aerospace, petrochemical and other fields. Common types of cold drawn steel include cold drawn round steel, cold drawn strip steel, cold drawn flat steel, etc. These steels are usually used to produce high-quality mechanical parts, bicycle parts, automobile parts, etc. Another important use of cold-drawn steel is the production of stainless steel materials. Stainless steel materials are usually processed by cold drawing.
