10 Gauge Black Annealed C-1018 Wire for Cotton Baling

10 gauge black annealed C-1018 wire is a high-quality, low-carbon steel wire specifically designed for use in cotton baling. 10 gauge black annealed C-1018 wire is an essential material for cotton baling, combining flexibility, strength, and cost-effectiveness. Its low carbon content ensures good ductility, while the black oxide finish offers some corrosion resistance. This wire is a practical choice for securing cotton bales and various agricultural applications.

Specifications

• Steel Grade: C-1018,Low carbon steel with approximately 0.18% carbon content.
• Properties: Good ductility, malleability, and ease of forming.
• Gauge: 10 gauge
• Diameter: Approximately 3.4 mm (0.134 inches).
• Finish: Black annealed
• Process: The wire is heated and then cooled slowly to make it softer and more flexible.
• Appearance: Black oxide coating resulting from the annealing process.

Characteristics

• Flexibility: The annealing process gives the wire superior flexibility, making it easier to handle and tie around cotton bales.
• Strength: Maintains adequate tensile strength to securely hold cotton bales without breaking.
• Corrosion Resistance: The black oxide coating provides a degree of corrosion resistance, though not as high as galvanized wire.

Applications

• Cotton Baling: Used primarily for tying and securing cotton bales. The wire's flexibility and strength ensure that the bales are tightly bound and can withstand transportation and storage.
• Agricultural Uses: Suitable for other agricultural tying and binding tasks where a strong and flexible wire is required.

Advantages

• Ease of Use: The flexibility of annealed wire makes it easier to twist and tie, reducing the effort required during baling.
• Secure Binding: Provides a reliable hold that keeps cotton bales intact during handling, transport, and storage.
• Cost-Effective: A more affordable option compared to galvanized or stainless steel wires, while still offering good performance for the intended application.

Packaging

• Coils: Typically available in coils for easy unwinding and use.
• Spools: May also be available in spools to facilitate handling and application.

We supply C-1018 grade annealed bale ties for cotton balers in Canada and many other countries.
