Capabilities

  • Drawing

    This is the process where we pull round wire, at a normal room temperature, through a die or group of dies in order to reduce the cross-sectional area; that is to say, make the wire smaller in diameter.
  • Rolling

    Shaped wire is usually produced by the process known as cold rolling. This process increases the tensile and yield strength of the wire while decreasing the ductility as the wire passes between rolls.
  • Shaping

    Shaping wire normally requires a rolling operation that may include several tools. Flat and square shapes may use a tool of offset rolls known as a turks-head. Special shapes may require rolls to be ground to form a specific shape for use in the rolling operation.
  • Annealing

    Depending on the material this process requires heating wire in a furnace to a temperature that with the introduction of Hydrogen gas and an immediate cooling stage will soften wire and maintain its surface appearance.
  • Surface Treatments

    • Tinning: applying a tin coating to bare wire.
    • Plating: is a process that uses electric current to form coherent dissimilar metal coatings on wire. These coatings include Pure Tin / 90% Tin, Nickel, Copper and Silver Plate
  • Straight and Cut

    Radcliff Wire offers cut to length services on a variety of wire sizes and shapes. We provide cut pieces straight and cut to specific length tolerances.
  • Knurling

    Knurling is the manufacturing process whereby a pattern of straight, angled or crossed lines is cut or rolled into the material.
  • Inspection

    There are three elements to our inspection:

    1. Incoming Inspection - This is the process that is implemented upon receiving raw material from a vendor, checking to see that it meets the requirements of our purchase requisition.

    2. In Process Inspection – This is routinely performed during all stages of production.

    3. Final Inspection & Quality Review begins prior to shipping in our Test and Inspection Area. This is where we totally review the specifications noted on our customers purchase order and compare it to the final product.

    This process includes checking for:

    • Hardness
    • Cast
    • Color
    • Elongation
    • Tensile
    • Helix
    • Surface Appearance
    • Tolerance
    • Dimensional Requirements
    • Packaging Requirements
