Tin-Coated Multipurpose 110 Copper Wire
- Temper Rating: Softened (Annealed)
- Heat Treatable: No
- Tensile Strength: 29,000 psi
- Specifications Met: ASTM B3
The tin coating provides a higher level of corrosion resistance and makes it easier to solder than Mirror-Like Multipurpose 110 Copper Wire. Offering high electrical conductivity and formability, 110 copper is 99.9% pure. Also known as ETP copper, it's often used as grounding wire. This wire has a soft temper and will stay in place when bent.

Multipurpose 400 Nickel Wire
- 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.
Shape-Memory Nitinol Wire
- Temper Rating: Softened
- Tensile Strength: 157,500 psi
- Specifications Met: ASTM F2063
