- Film, caps, interleaving, skids, cases or moisture protection only as confirmed in the order.
Match wire to the forming process
Annealed wire supports bending and heading; drawn or spring-temper wire supplies higher strength. Diameter alone is not enough: state tensile range, elongation or temper, surface lubricant and final forming route.
Packaging matters
Spool size, coil weight, pay-off direction and straightness affect line productivity. Provide the receiving equipment limits and whether the wire must be clean, soap coated or ready for welding or food-contact fabrication.
Standards
ASTM A580/A580M covers general stainless wire, while spring applications commonly use ASTM A313/A313M. The applicable edition and supplementary tests should be stated on the order.
