Round Shaped Wire
Although we provide wire in many different shapes, we’ll always appreciate the merits of the humble, yet versatile round shaped wire.
Renowned for its exceptional flexibility and tensile strength, round wire’s circular cross-section makes it resistant to breaking under tension, and it can be bent without losing its original form.
Its broad range of strengths and diameters make it an ideal choice for producing springs that must withstand different pressures and loads.
Manufacturing round wire is more cost effective to produce than other shapes, too. Due to its symmetry, it’s easier to pull through a die. Round wire is also easier to coil than other shapes, and it’s less likely to bend or kink.
Round wire produces a clean, streamlined look. Its uniform circumference allows users to bend, twist and coil it into intricate shapes, resulting in a finished product that’s aesthetically pleasing from all sides. The lack of sharp edges makes round wire safer to work with, too.
We offer round shaped wire in these materials and sizes:
- Copper Based Alloys from .009” to .162” diameter
- Stainless Steel from .015” to .050” diameter (only available with bright, clean finish)
