Annealed Wire involves softening materials by subjecting them to a heat cycle. In turn, this relieves internal stress and induces flexibility, which improves cold working properties. This heat treatment process alters the microstructure of metals and changes their mechanical properties.
Annealed Wire offers improved ductility and workability, reduced hardness and stress, and consistent performance that give it the versatility required for its many end-use applications.
Available Alloys
Our Annealed Wire product line is available in a variety of Stainless Steel and Nickel Alloys, including 302, 303, 304, 305, 316, 321, 347 and 400 series, 17-7 pH, Monel® and Inconel®.
Other alloys are also available upon request.
Applications
Annealed Wire is used in many applications that call on the workability and durability of the product. Construction applications like binding wire and tie wire rely on the malleability and strength this product can provide.
Processes like recrystallization and jewelry making often also use Annealing to form intricate designs and create strong products that will last.
Packaging and Specifications
At Loos & Co., Inc. we can package and ship Annealed Wire in coils, on carriers, on spools and on reels. Contact our sales team at sales@loosco.com for any questions about packaging and shipment.
