Wire up to 1.40 mm is available on spools.
At the request of the customer, wire can also
be supplied in annular drums as detailed
below. The figure shows the drum without
handles.
Wire dimensions from 1.40 to 8.0 are
available in coils. The inner diameter of the
coil is 350 to 650 mm depending on the
alloy type and the diameter.
Wire from 2.00 mm up to 8.0 mm can
be straightened in random or fixed lengths.
Straight lengths are supplied in bundles.
