Products

Through continuous product innovation and expanding manufacturing capabilities, we are dedicated to meeting your demands and challenges. Our diverse range of material solutions, from round, flat, and specialty-shaped wire, to complex strands, cables, and bar, is customized to fit and advance the most rigorous applications.

As the basis for a number of advanced products, bar and wire can provide a variety of shape, sizes, and mechanical properties. From anything-but-standard round wire, to flat wire, custom shapes, and strong and polished bar, using these product forms can open up nearly limitless possibilities for new and old applications alike.

Bar and wire

• Round wire - wire with a circular cross section

Components

Wire is the building block for a number of material solutions, but often it requires additional processing to reach peak performance. This is where components come into play. By using wire in custom mechanical assemblies, or by using Nitinol in shape-set parts, wire can take on new shapes and uses, opening up a world of possibilities.

• Mechanical assembly - custom crimps, fittings, and specialized parts
• Shape-set parts - precision-formed Nitinol engineered to return to its set geometry after deformation or flexing

Constructions

Complex constructions can provide a range of properties, from torque transmission to strength and flexibility, making them versatile assets in a number of end applications. By relying on DFT® composite wire, you can combine the beneficial properties of two materials in a single wire system. Constructions such as strands or cables allow you to increase strength or flexibility by creating different configurations, and HHS® tube offers torqueability with an open working channel.
