ENGINEERING TOOLS · CHQ WIRE

Cold Forming Engineering Tools

Quick calculators for wire area, weight, reduction ratio and RFQ readiness. Final acceptance depends on standards, drawings and inspection reports.

Creation CHQ Engineer

A free cold-heading material engineering toolbox from Creation Group. Core calculators work offline after installation; material selection and technical enquiries stay connected.

Make the first check clearer

These tools support early discussion only. Formal acceptance must follow the applicable standard, drawing, customer specification and inspection report.

01 · UNIT CONVERSION

Strength unit conversion

Exact unit conversion for MPa (N/mm²), kgf/mm², psi and ksi. 1 MPa = 1 N/mm².

Conversion follows unit definitions and does not establish a material or fastener property class.
02 · HARDNESS

Steel hardness conversion

Enter HRB, HV, HBW or HRC. HRB/HV cover the softer ranges commonly used for annealed wire and cold-heading steel; HRC covers higher quenched-and-tempered ranges.

Engineering reference scope: ASTM E140-12B(2019)e1, ISO 18265:2013, GB/T 33362-2016 and GB/T 1172-1999. Material, structure, heat treatment, test force and scale affect the result; formal acceptance requires the applicable standard table or an actual test.
03 · TENSILE ESTIMATE

HBW and tensile estimate

For preliminary discussion of carbon and low-alloy steels: Rm ≈ 3.45 × HBW (MPa). Not for stainless steel, non-ferrous alloys, case-hardened layers or formal acceptance.

This correlation is an engineering estimate, not a property decision under ISO 898-1, GB/T 3098.1 or a customer specification.
