Music Wire Phosphate Coated ASTM A-228 - (190)

Music wire is one of the best, toughest, and most widely used materials for small springs. It has one of the highest tensile strengths and can withstand higher stresses under repeated loading than other spring materials. The fatigue life of music wire is excellent. While its name suggests a primary use in musical instruments, music wire's exceptional properties is used for countless spring applications and much more.  Learn More

 

Hard Drawn MB Spring Wire Class I - (193)

This is a medium carbon, cold drawn spring wire for the production of commercial quality mechanical springs. Gibbs Interwire stocks this wire with class I tensile only, Class II tensiles are available on application. Wire is available in size ranges from 0.008" - 0.375"  Learn More

 

Hard Drawn MB Spring Wire Class 2 - (60)

This is a medium-high carbon, cold drawn spring wire for the production of commercial quality mechanical springs. HDMB is drawn to finish size and then hardened by heat treat or tempering process. Tempering straightens wire and also improves operating temperatures. Use of higher carbon content allows higher tensile strength when compared to class 1  Learn More

 

Oil Tempered MB Spring Wire Class I - (50)

This is a general purpose, commercial quality, Class I tensile, spring steel wire to ASTM A 229. With a quality between hard drawn spring wire and music wire, moderately priced OTMB is excellent for springs without servere bends. The material is cold drawn to the desired size and heat treated by a continuous tempering method. A low temperature stress relief is required after processing. Wire is available is size ranges from 0.023" - 0.625".  Learn More

 

Oil Tempered MB Spring Wire Class II - (25)

This is a general purpose, commercial quality, Class II tensile, spring steel wire to ASTM A 229. With a quality between hard drawn spring wire and music wire, moderately priced OTMB is excellent for springs without severe bends. The material is cold drawn to the desired size and heat treated by a continuous tempering method. A low temperature stress relief is required after processing. Wire is available in size ranges from 0.120" - 0.625".  Learn More

 

Oil Tempered Chrome Silicon - Commercial Quality - (106)

This material is designed for springs that must withstand considerable shock and extreme heat. Chrome silicon can be used at temperatures up to 50°F higher than chrome vanadium. Recommendations for heat treatment: Immediately after coiling, the springs should be stress relieved at about 400°C (750°F) for 30 minutes. After shot peening, the springs should be stress relieved at about 250°C (480°F) for 30 minutes. Wire is available in size ranges from 0.018" - 0.625".  Learn More

 

Oil Tempered Chrome Silicon - Valve Spring Quality - (56)

These materials are designed for springs that must withstand considerable shock and extreme heat. Chrome silicon can be used at temperatures up to 50°F higher than chrome vanadium. Valve spring quality chrome silicon has been eddy current tested to assure the finest possible surface in keeping with automotive industry requirements. Wire is available in size ranges from 0.0217" - 0.312". Valve quality Chrome Silicon conforms to ASTM-A-877.  Learn More

 

Oil Tempered Chromium - Vanadium Wire Commercial Quality - (28)

Chromium-vanadium is the most popular alloy steel for springs that are required to withstand a large number of operating cycles. It is medium carbon steel with chromium and vanadium added to increase its hardness and tensile strength. The pre-tempered material is best for valve or gun springs. Springs can be used at extremely high stresses in applications where they will also be subject to extreme shock and impact loading.  Learn More

 

Oil Tempered Chrome Vanadium - Valve Quality - (34)

These materials are designed for springs that must withstand considerable shock and extreme heat. Valve spring quality chrome vanadium has been eddy current tested to assure the finest possible surface in keeping with automotive industry requirements. Wire is available in size ranges from 0.0625" - 0.362". Valve quality Chrome Vanadium conforms to ASTM-A-232.  Learn More

 

Galvanized Hard Drawn MB Spring Wire Class I – Galvanized Music Wire - (94)

Galvanized music wire is metallic-coated, medium-carbon, cold-drawn spring wire for the production of commercial quality mechanical springs and wire forms that are not subject to high stress or require high fatigue properties. Gibbs Interwire stocks this wire in size ranges from 0.041" - 0.207"  Learn More

 

Galvanized Hard Drawn MB Spring Wire Class 2 – Galvanized Music Wire - (11)

This is a metallic coated medium carbon, cold drawn spring wire for the production of commercial quality mechanical springs and wire forms that are not subject to high stress or require high fatigue properties.  Learn More

 

Type Corrostan Music Wire - (18)

Corrostan is an electro-galvanized, zinc coated music wire provided on reels and cores for long continuous production runs. Drawing after plating provides a zinc hard enough to withstand automatic coiling or mechanical forming operations without excessive peeling or flaking. Wire is available in size ranges from 0.017" - 0.068". Larger diameters can be special ordered up to .098". All Corrostan conforms to ASTM-A-228 & SAE-J-178.  Learn More

 

Galvanized Low Carbon Wire - (51)

Galvanized low carbon wire is often referred to as galvanized basic wire offers various degrees of corrosion resistance according to the weight of coating applied. It can be offered in soft, medium and hard tensiles as well as class 1, 2 and 3 coating weights depending on the customer requirements.  Learn More

 

Tinned Coated Music Wire - (18)

A commercial coating weight is standard but specific weights of coatings can be produced according to the customer requirements.  Learn More

 

Zinc-Aluminum Music Wire - (52)

Zinc Aluminum coating is known in the industry by trade names Bezinal and Galfan as well as Alumar and Corzal coatings. It is traditionally a 95% zinc coating with the addition of 5% aluminum. Other coating concentrations can be for example 90% zinc and 10% aluminum. This product offers superior resistance to rust over just a hard drawn or regular galvanized product.  Learn More

 

Bright Low Carbon Wire - (49)

The most widely used wire product in the world. It generally refers to wire with a carbon content of 0.25 max. It is easy to form into various wire products on four slide machines and CNC equipment. It is extensively used in concrete construction as a reinforcing product as well as wire forms for consumer items.  Learn More

 

Preco "Z" Music Wire - Galvanized Music Wire - (67)

This coating can be applied to products such as high and low carbon wires including music wire, hard drawn MB and low carbon.  Learn More

 

Preco "N" Music Wire

Preco "N" is a nickel coated music wire which offers superior consistency and reliability, due to drawing after nickel coating, for such applications as computer keyboard springs, camera springs, battery springs, and cordless telephone antennas. Preco "N" exhibits minimum discoloration during stress relieving because no rust proofing oils are needed. Wire is available in limited size ranges from 0.015" - 0.032" and is also available on application. Preco N conforms to ASTM-A-228 & SAE-J-178  Learn More
