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.
Spring-Back Multipurpose 304 Stainless Steel Wire
This wire bounces back after bending. Often used to construct springs and wire rope, 304 stainless steel is a good all-around choice for a wide range of applications.
PTFE-coated wire has a slippery surface, so it’s especially useful as a fish wire when navigating through confined spaces.
- Heat Treatment: Hardened
- Tensile Strength: Not Rated
- Specifications Met: ASTM A313

Bend-and-Stay Multipurpose 304 Stainless Steel Wire
Bend this wire and it will stay put. Frequently used as tying wire and locking wire, 304 stainless steel is a good all-around choice for a wide range of applications.
- Heat Treatment: Annealed (Softened)
- Heat Treatable: No
- Tensile Strength: 75,000 psi
- Specifications Met: ASTM A580
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.
Certificates with a traceable lot number are available for these products. Download certificates from ACTIVITY after your order ships.
