Black annealed wire from Türkiye

Why buy black annealed wire from Turkey?

Black annealed wire is steel wire that has been softened by annealing, a heat treatment that reduces hardness and increases ductility. Drawing a wire to size hardens it; annealing relieves that work hardening, so the finished wire bends, twists and knots by hand without breaking. That softness is the whole point of a tie wire, and it is why the same product is sold as annealed tie wire, binding wire and black wire. Black simply means the wire carries no zinc coating.

Buying annealed tie wire from Turkey through a trading company means one contact for the whole order. From our Istanbul office we ask manufacturers in Türkiye for offers on your diameter and strength, put those offers side by side on the same basis, and go through the sample and test results with you before anything is produced. Buyers in the Americas can also work with our Delaware office during their own business hours.

Which black annealed wire sizes can you order from Türkiye?

The table lists the range we quote for black annealed wire. The values are read from the same data as our black annealed tie wire page, so the two pages always show the same figures.

The strength band is deliberately low: at 300–450 N/mm² it sits below cold drawn wire, which skips the annealing step and is quoted at 500–1000 N/mm². Tell us the diameter, the quantity and the destination, and say whether your drawings name EN 10218-2 or another standard.

How is binding wire from Türkiye shipped?

Coils of binding wire normally travel by sea in standard dry containers. Published payload limits run from about 25 to 28.3 tonnes for a 20 ft container and from about 26.8 to 28.8 tonnes for a 40 ft container, and the figure that counts is the one for the container you book.

The tonnage per container follows from the coil weight and the packaging, so we confirm it for each order rather than quoting a fixed number. If you prefer a particular coil weight or packing, add it to the Details field of the request form. Our container loading guide explains the published figures.

Which standard covers black annealed wire?

We quote black annealed wire to EN 10218-2. Its current edition, EN 10218-2:2012, was published in January 2012 and sets the tolerances on the diameter of round steel wire and, where it applies, on the length of wire cut to length. It covers bright (uncoated), metallic coated and non-metallic coated wire, and it gives way where a product standard sets its own dimensional rules.

Black annealed or galvanized? The choice comes down to exposure. Where the tie wire will sit outdoors or in damp conditions, a zinc coating protects the steel; where corrosion is not a concern and quick hand tying matters, black annealed wire fits. Our guide black annealed vs galvanized tie wire compares the two side by side.
