teräslanka

Teräslanka is a Finnish term that translates to "steel wire" in English. It refers to a slender, flexible strand made of steel. Steel wire is a versatile material used in a vast array of applications due to its strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion, especially when galvanized or coated.

The manufacturing process of teräslanka typically involves drawing steel through a series of dies. This cold-drawing process reduces the diameter of the steel rod and increases its tensile strength. The resulting wire can vary in thickness from extremely fine filaments used in medical devices to thick cables used in construction and engineering.

Common uses for teräslanka include reinforcement in concrete, suspension bridges, fencing, springs, cables for machinery, and even in musical instruments. Its specific properties, such as tensile strength, flexibility, and resistance to wear, are tailored to its intended application through the choice of steel alloy and manufacturing techniques. Teräslanka is an essential component in many modern industries and everyday objects.
