Commonly used for eyeglass frames and antennas, this wire bounces back to its original shape after bending, stretching, and twisting.

This nickel-chromium, often called Chromel C, provides effortless formability. Use it for heating elements, resistance windings, and hot-wire cutters.

Able to withstand temperatures up to 1000° F, 600 nickel is often used as safety lock wire in high-temperature applications. It is comparable to Inconel.

This wire is polished to a mirror-like finish.

Offering high electrical conductivity and formability, 110 copper is 99.9% pure. Also known as ETP copper, it's often used in electrical applications, such as for bus bars and wire connectors, as well as for flashing, gaskets, and rivets.

182 copper is stronger, harder, and more wear resistant than 110 copper. Also known as RWMA Class 2 chromium copper, it's commonly used in resistance welding, for circuit-breaker parts, and for molds to make plastic parts.

The most formable brass we offer, 260 offers better weldability than 300 series brass but it’s not as machinable. Sometimes called cartridge brass, it's commonly used for ammunition casings, radiator components, and decorative door hardware.

Also known as high-leaded naval brass, 485 brass contains lead for good machinability. It is commonly used for marine hardware, valve stems, and screw machine products.

With the highest lead content of all the brass alloys, 360 offers the best machinability. Often called free-machining and free-cutting brass, it stands up to high-speed drilling, milling, and tapping operations with minimal wear on your tools. It’s commonly used for gears, pinions, and lock components.

A lead-free alternative to 485 brass, 464 brass offers good weldability, strength, and wear resistance. It’s widely used for marine hardware, pump and propeller shafts, and rivets.

Because 510 bronze is very strong and formable, it is the best choice for applications involving repetitive motion, such as springs and bellows.

This wire has a soft temper and will stay in place when bent.
