NDR® wire

NDR® wire offers greater fatigue life without altering the physical properties of the material. Using a proprietary thermal-mechanical treatment designed to produce nanoscale microstructure refinement, NDR® wire provides increased strength under repeated use while maintaining the properties of conventional wire.

Design specifications

NDR® wire can be manufactured with the following materials, with size ranges dependent on processing parameters.

  • 304V stainless steel low carbon, low strength, increased resistance to carbide sensitization
  • 316LVM stainless steel improved microcleanliness, ductility, and corrosion resistance
  • 35N LT™ alloy enhanced fatigue life, strength, and corrosion resistance
  • FWM™ 1058 alloy high strength and corrosion resistance
  • MP35N® alloy high fatigue life, strength, and corrosion resistance

 

You can use the charts below as a reference point for fatigue life and microstructure for NDR® wire.
