Extra-Flexible Ultra-Corrosion-Resistant Wire Rope—Not for Lifting

More wires per strand than other wire rope provides the flexibility required for repeat bending over drums and pulleys. Superior resistance to salt water and acidic- and alkaline-based solutions makes this nickel-copper wire the best choice for use in marine and chemical environments. Individual wire strands are preformed to maintain their shape and prevent rope from unraveling when cut.

Multipurpose 400 Nickel Wire

Spool

Temper Rating: Softened (Annealed)
Tensile Strength: 70,000 psi
Specifications Met: ASTM B164

Bend this wire and it will stay in place. It is often used as safety lock wire. From marine hardware to chemical-processing equipment, 400 nickel is widely used for its strength, weldability, and formability. Comparable to Monel, this nickel-copper alloy will stand up to highly corrosive environments, such as those involving salt water, sulfuric acid, and alkalies.
