What Materials are Used for Straight and Cut Wire?

beryllium copper

How much do you know about wire straightening and cutting capabilities? A broad range of sizes, grades, and materials can be straightened and cut to exact measurements based on the needs of specific jobs. Straightened and cut wire is possible for short and long production runs that meet high-quality products and quick turnaround times. State-of-the-art equipment and production methods are employed to make this process possible.

For instance, close tolerance circular dies create the slightest deformations during the cut-off process. Using these circular dyes makes it possible to produce clean cuts with square shoulders and no burring. Rotary straightening arbors are another standard piece of modern equipment that allows engineers to provide the highest possible consistencies for precision straightening and cutting. 

Often, straighten cut wired capabilities are also performed with secondary operations such as:

  • Deburring
  • Chamfering
  • Flattening
  • Swaging
  • End Finishes

Secondary operations allow for higher levels of position for specified radiuses. Varying production methods are employed depending on the type of material produced and why it’s being used. Part of the capabilities of a straight and cut wire is highly customizable for and used in unique applications.

Material selection is also an essential aspect of straight and cut wire.  Some of the most used materials include:

  • Low Carbon Steel 
  • High Carbon and Spring Temper
  • Stainless Steel
  • Non-Ferrous Metals (Nickel, Nickel Alloys, and Copper)
  • Low Carbon Galvanized Steel

Choosing an appropriate finish is also an essential aspect of straightening and cutting wire. You need to make sure you have a deep understanding of why and how straight and cut wire will be used to get the best possible products.
