Brown Wire

Term used to describe wire that exhibits an oxidized surface after drawing. This is attributed to poor rinsing after a chemical descaling where the surface of the rod or wire is contaminated with acid and iron prior to the coating being applied. The contaminants oxidize the surface under the coating prior to drawing.
