Multipurpose 400 Nickel Wire

Spool

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.
