Galvanised Steel Wire 1.12 mm - 100 Metres

Galvanised steel wire with a diameter of 1.12 mm is a stiff, shape-retaining wire that holds its form well after bending. The wire is supplied on a large 100-metre reel.

Thanks to its high tensile strength, this steel wire is considerably stiffer and harder to bend than many standard tying or iron wires. It is suitable for constructions, creative applications, wire figures and sculptures.

Key features

• Diameter: 1.12 mm steel wire.
• Finish: galvanised with a minimum Class B zinc coating.
• Tensile strength: 1770 N/mm² for a stiff and shape-retaining wire.
• Length: 100 metres supplied on a large reel.
• Property: retains its shape well after bending.

What is this steel wire used for?

This stiff steel wire is suitable for applications where the wire needs to hold its position after shaping. It can be used for wire constructions, creative projects, models, sculptures and other formed wire applications.

How do you work with this steel wire?

Due to its high tensile strength, the material is relatively stiff and more difficult to bend by hand than softer iron wire. Use suitable tools to form the wire into the required shape. Once bent, the wire holds its form well.

Important: due to the stiffness of the material, suitable cutting and bending tools may be required.

Technical data

The steel wire has a diameter of 1.12 mm, a tensile strength of 1770 N/mm² and a minimum Class B zinc coating. The total length on the reel is 100 metres.

Frequently asked questions

What is stiff steel wire?

Stiff steel wire is high-tensile wire that offers relatively high resistance to bending. Once shaped, it retains its position well.

How thick is this steel wire?

The steel wire has a diameter of 1.12 mm. This is slightly thicker than 1 mm.

How much steel wire is supplied on the reel?

The reel contains 100 metres of galvanised steel wire. This provides enough material for larger projects or multiple smaller applications.

Is the steel wire galvanised?

Yes, the steel wire is galvanised. According to the technical specifications, it has at least a Class B zinc coating.

What is the tensile strength of the steel wire?

The specified tensile strength is 1770 N/mm². This high tensile strength contributes to the wire's stiff and shape-retaining properties.

What can I use this steel wire for?

The wire is suitable for wire constructions, creative projects, sculptures and other formed applications. It is particularly useful where the bent wire needs to retain its shape.

Is this the same as ordinary iron wire?

No, not every wire commonly referred to as iron wire has the same properties. This product is steel wire with a tensile strength of 1770 N/mm² and is therefore relatively stiff and shape-retaining.
