What Are Flat Wire Profiles?
Flat wire comes from a unique forming process for bar or redrawn round wire. Ours undergoes cold-rolling to elongate and flatten it before annealing it and cold-drawing into specialized shapes if necessary. Numerous alloys are available to create flat wire with to-spec widths, thicknesses and edges.
Custom flat wire offers multiple benefits, including:
- Application-specific performance
- Edge options, such as broken corner, square and full round
- Fewer weld joints with a continuous coil option
- Smooth surfaces free of burrs
- Consistent properties across the entire material lot
- Tight tolerances
