Automotive sub-supply and white-goods manufacturing both continue to pull cold-drawn wire in 2013. Tensile tolerance keeps tightening. Turkey’s appliance sector is booming. Buyers are consolidating vendors and demanding EN 10204 3.1 certificates by default. Our production planning is now built around…
EN 10204 3.1 inspection certificates — why we default to them in 2013 (2013)
EN 10204 3.1 is a “specific inspection document” — validated by our inspection department, independent of the production line — that certifies the material meets ordered specification and gives real test results from the actual heat. In 2013 it is treated…
Automotive sub-supply: cold-drawn wire for fasteners (2013)
Automotive fasteners rely on cold-drawn low-carbon wire that behaves predictably during header and roll-forming. In 2013 we saw more customers ask for narrower tensile scatter within a single coil, not just batch to batch. To hold that, wire-rod incoming quality control…
Cold-drawn Ø1.00 – Ø14.00 mm — our workhorse family (2013)
Cold-drawn wire remains the backbone of what leaves our Muradiye OSB plant in 2013. We draw Ø1.00 to Ø14.00 mm from low-carbon SAE 1006/1008/1010 wire rod, in bright or super-bright finish. Tensile strength typically lands between 500 and 1050 N/mm² depending…
Looking back on 2012 — production, customers, and what changed (2012)
2012 brought steady demand across our end sectors and continued expectation on documentation quality. Automotive sub-supply grows in the Ege region. Wire buyers are asking for tighter tensile tolerance. We exported to Europe and the Middle East. Cold-drawn and annealed remained…
TS EN 10218 — the low-carbon wire family standard we work to (2012)
TS EN 10218 covers general requirements for steel wire — low-carbon and higher-carbon grades. It sets tolerances on diameter, tensile, surface, and packaging that we use as the reference for most of our production. In 2012 we treat 10218 as the…
Export destinations — where our wire is going in 2012 (2012)
In 2012 our export mix is: Europe and the Middle East. Different destinations have different documentation expectations. Every export shipment travels with an EN 10204 3.1 inspection certificate and a commercial pack that includes packing list, invoice, and country-of-origin documentation on…
Inside our Muradiye OSB plant — 2012 (2012)
This year marks eight years. The plant is a 7,000 m² wire manufacturing facility in the Muradiye Organized Industrial Zone (Muradiye OSB), Manisa. Under one roof we run wire rod receiving, cold drawing, annealing, cut-to-length, flat-bar profiling, and packaging. That single-site…
Drawing die maintenance — small things that decide our tonne cost (2012)
Drawing dies are consumables. How we maintain them decides three things: surface quality on the wire, drawing energy per tonne, and yield. We inspect and rotate dies on a fixed schedule and pull one out of service the moment its wear…
Fastener manufacturer moves to bright-drawn from black-drawn — smoother heading, less die wear (2012)
A fastener manufacturer we have supplied for several years switched from black-drawn to bright-drawn wire for their higher-run parts. The reason was header die wear. Bright surface produces less friction at forming; die life goes up. Coating-ready surface is a bonus….
