Shaped wire is a versatile product that can be used in a wide range of applications and industries. In the manufacturing sector, shaped wire serves as a creative alternative round wire used to produce hardware, springs, and other small components.
Just ask Central Wire Industries (CWI), one of North America’s fastest growing wire manufacturers. Its products include bar stock, fine wire, shaped wire, cold heading wire, spring wire, wire rope, welding wire, and several others. The company offers one of the widest ranges of high-performance specialty alloys in nickel, stainless, and red metal.
Shaped wire is commonly used to produce clips, pins, springs, and other types of hardware and fasteners. Manufacturers can choose between standard oval, square, flat, or triangular wires, or they can specify hex, star, or other custom forms. shaped wire is often preferred to traditional round wire because each individual form offers unique physical qualities that impact the performance of finished products.
Springs manufactured from flat wire instead of round wire, for example, produce more force for equivalent size and material selection, allowing for smaller sized springs to be used in tight spaces.
