Plain PC Wire as Favorable Material for Construction
Plain PC Wire, also called plain surface PC steel wire or smooth PC wire, is a traditional type of PC wire. The surface of plain PC wire is smooth, without ribs, not indented. Plain PC wire has the advantages of low relaxation and high tensile strength. Therefore it is considered as the desirable steel material used in large-load, long-span PC structures, such as PC bridge, PC sleeper, PC pipe and large-span sloping rope bridge. What's more, it does not have an explicit yield point, so users can cut it to the appropriate length as needed.
The plain PC wire can be supplied in different diameters: 5mm, 7mm and 9mm. It features good fixed performance, high tensile strength and low relaxation.
Plain PC wire with good fixed performance commonly applied in road and bridge structures, such as highway, bridges, and railway sleepers.
