Music wire

Music wire is commonly known for its functionality in stringed instruments like pianos, guitars and violins. Besides its role in musical instruments, music wire is prevalent in many other applications, from springs to cutting tools to fishing lures. Music wire utilizes various thicknesses and material types to deliver a versatile, reliable and durable solution for many different needs. 

Bekaert manufactures music wire according to EN 10270-1 grade DM, DH. It is available in phosphated, zinc coated or Bezinal® coated condition with diameters ranging from 0.18 to 10 millimeters. We treat these materials to achieve a specific hardness level.

High-Quality Music Wire

At Bekaert, we use a cold-drawing process to shape our music wire by pulling it through a die. We have single-die, multi-die and Turk's Head manufacturing capabilities to produce wire according to your specifications. Our music wire often costs less than machining the wire yourself, plus it generates minimal scrap during conversion to save even more money.

Our music wire coated in Bezinal® offers superior properties for many applications, especially those involving springs. Bezinal® XP provides exceptional corrosion resistance, making it ideal for spring-making and many other end-user applications. Bezinal® XC coated wire provides significant coiling properties and can often meet or exceed the performance of alternatives with nonmetallic or phosphate coatings.

Advantages of Bekaert Music Wire

Because of its ability to withstand repeated heavy loads while maintaining its elasticity and shape, music wire is one of the most popular choices for compression springs. Our materials and manufacturing processes enable us to offer our music wire at much more cost-effective prices than many high-carbon steel solutions. Several benefits associated with music wire include:

  • Homogeneous mechanical properties and surface
  • High tensile and fatigue strength
  • Excellent surface quality

Common Applications of Music Wire

Music wire is particularly suitable for precision springs and those that must withstand high stress levels. Because of its superior tensile properties, music wire works well for various industrial, commercial and personal applications. Besides its use in stringed musical instruments, this wire is ideal for springs in high-tension applications because it can accommodate repeated heavy loads.
