Cold Heading Wire, Cold Forming Wire and CHQ Wire are used for the production of fasteners including bolts, nuts, and screws. Fasteners have traditionally been manufactured using the thread cutting or hot working method. However, the trend is moving towards using the cold working process to enhance productivity and to keep the cost down. Cold heading wire, therefore, possesses excellent workability and surface quality for the cold working process to take place.

The hot-rolled coil or wire rod passes through the pickling line, where hydrochloric acid solution is used to remove surface scale for clean surface finish before further processing and to form a lubrication film on the surface to reduce the coefficient of friction in the drawing and cold working process.
The Gantry Crane moves between the tank during the process.

This process which produces half-finished products for the following stage improves the spherodized ratio during spheroidized annealing. The wire drawing machine composed of (Supply Stand + Drawing Drum + Take up) stages produces half-finished coil products.

This annealing process with the purpose of obtaining spheroidized carbides facilitates the cold works. Once inserted in the heat treatment furnace, the process takes place in the order of controlled heating up to a given time, temperature and furnace atmosphere, along with maintenance at such temperature during a certain period and cooling controlled in accordance with the purpose intended. This process is controlled by automatic heat cycle. Dongbu Steel offers 54 heat cycles.

The wire drawing machine produces half-finished coils where products meet the customers' needs in terms of the size and mechanical properties of products.
