Introduction

EN 10016-2 specifies non-alloy steel rods intended primarily for wire drawing and cold forming applications. These steels are designed to offer excellent drawability, consistent chemical composition, and reliable mechanical properties suitable for further processing into wires, fasteners, and precision components.

EN 10016-2 steel rods are widely used in industries such as automotive manufacturing, fastener production, construction hardware, and general engineering. The rods are typically supplied in hot-rolled condition and are later processed through cold drawing, wire drawing, or forming operations to manufacture various mechanical products.

Ladhani Metal Corporation is a manufacturer, supplier, and stockist of EN 10016-2 steel rods, supplying a wide range of grades and sizes for industrial wire drawing, cold heading, and mechanical component manufacturing.
