Spiral Ribbed PC Wire

High-carbon steel prestressed concrete wire with consecutive spiral ribs for exceptional bonding force — engineered for PC telegraph poles, hollow slabs, water pipes, prestressed structures, and road & bridge works to international standards including ASTM, BS, DIN, GB, AISI and JIS.

Product Overview

Spiral Ribbed PC Wire — also called spiral PC wire or spiral ribbed PC steel wire — is one of the traditional products in the PC wire range. Unlike plain PC wire, its surface features 3–6 consecutive spiral ribs that strengthen the bond between wire and concrete, extending structure service life.

Key Features

Why spiral ribbed PC wire outperforms plain PC wire in bonded prestressed concrete applications

High Bonding Force

Consecutive spiral ribs on the surface substantially increase bond strength between wire and concrete compared to plain PC wire.

High Tensile Strength

Tensile strength ranging from 1470 MPa to 1860 MPa with low relaxation (less than 2% over 1000 hours) for long-term performance.

Wide Range of Use

Suitable for prestressed concrete structures, building structures, reinforcing structures, and road and bridge structures.

Advanced Production

Manufactured on advanced production lines with necessary facility and examination equipment ensuring consistent quality.

Applications

Spiral Ribbed PC Wire is widely used across construction, infrastructure, and industrial applications
