wirebar

A wirebar is a cast bar of metal specifically prepared for the process of making wire. In metallurgy, wirebars are often produced from copper and are a crucial intermediate step in creating copper wire. These bars are typically reheated and then rolled into rods, which are subsequently drawn cold through progressively smaller dies to achieve the desired wire thickness. This process is fundamental in the production of long metal products, including various types of wire used in numerous applications, from electrical conductors to structural components.123
