Indian state-run steel producer Steel Authority of India Limited’s (SAIL) Bhilai Steel Plant (BSP) has been granted a license by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) to commence production of IS 7904 grade wire rod used in bridge cables and as reinforcement material in automotive tyres, a company statement said on Tuesday, March 21.

With the license, Bhilai mill will now be able to produce high carbon wire rod from its Wire Rod Mill (WRM), the statement said.  

“Developing customised grades of products with specifications and chemistry as desired by customers has always been a thrust area for Bhilai mill. Not only do these new grades fulfil customer demands and find newer applications, development and supply of value-added grades also fetch higher net sales realisation. The new grades are developed by cross-functional teams from the plant’s quality department, steel melting shop and rolling mill,” the statement said.  

The mill will produce the full range of high carbon IS 7904 grade wire rod developed in dimensions of 5.5 mm and 6.0 mm, it said.
