Edges

Finishes – Drawn or Rolled Wire ( Not Harden and Tempered)

No. 1 Dull Finish

A finish without luster, produced by rolling on rolls that are fabricated to give a specific finish. This finish is especially suitable for applying various surface coatings.

No. 2 Regular Bright Finish

A finish produced by rolling on rolls having a moderately smooth finish. It is suitable for many requirements, however it is not generally applicable for plating.

No. 3 Best Bright Finish

This finish is generally of high luster produced by selective rolling practices, including the use of specially prepared rolls. No. 3 finished is the highest quality finish produced and is particularly suited for electroplating.
