Cold-drawn wire is produced by forcibly drawing hot-rolled wire rod through a tapered die at ambient temperature (or below the steel's recrystallisation temperature). This process reduces the cross-sectional area of the steel while elongating its length, ultimately yielding a wire-like steel product with defined diameter and mechanical properties. This constitutes a specialised category within cold-rolling processes, characterised by its core attributes of ‘cold-state forming’ and ‘controllable precision’.
