Industrial Quality Rod is a semi-finished product rolled from billet on a rod mill and is used primarily for the manufacture of wire. Wire rods are produced in coils of one continuous length. Industrial Quality Rod, also referred to as IQ Rod, is usually cold drawn into wire suitable for further drawing and forming into a variety of products. As Industrial Quality Rod comes off the rolling mill, it is formed into coils. The dimensions and weight of a single coil are determined by the capabilities of the rolling mill.
