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.

Ultra High-Temperature Molybdenum Wire
- Hardness: Rockwell C59 (Very Hard)
Able to handle high melting points and conduct heat and electricity, this 99.95% pure molybdenum wire is often used in lights to create a support for filaments. It resists oxidation and won’t corrode. Molybdenum is better at conducting heat and electricity than tantalum and platinum, which also have high melting points. It is not, however, as corrosion resistant.
