Lubricated 1080 Spring Steel Wire
- Heat Treatment: Hardened
- Tensile Strength: 261,000 psi
- Specifications Met: ASTM A228
Also known as music wire. This wire is coated with phosphate for corrosion resistance and lubricity. Use it for bundling and as tag wire. It will spring back after bending.

Super-Elastic Nitinol Wire
- Temper: Spring (Hardened)
- Tensile Strength: 181,000 psi
Commonly used for eyeglass frames and antennas, this wire bounces back to its original shape after bending, stretching, and twisting. Nitinol is a nickel-titanium alloy.

- Impact Strength: Not Rated
- Hardness: Not Rated
- For Use Outdoors: No
Reinforce structures with these rods—they weigh less than aluminum while remaining strong and almost as rigid. Their fibers are aligned in a single direction, so they hold up to bending across the fibers but will splinter and separate like string cheese when bent along the length of the fiber. Carbon fiber is known for its use in the aerospace industry where a balance of weight and strength is vital.
