Forming wire
Overview
Stainless steel forming wire is suitable for thousands of applications due to its ductility, corrosion resistance and strength.
Quality
We supply forming wire to meet individual customer requirements and hold a large stock of general wires to suit most forming applications.
We also carry wire with suitable mechanical and surface finishes for applications that require more rigorous processing such as profiling and shaping.
Coatings
Our stock forming wire is available in a bright, EPQ or dull condition.
If coatings are required, we offer options such as soap, oil/grease and metallic.
Profiles
We offer a range of profile shapes and strands, from round or flat wire to over 60 shaped profiles.
