Wires Overview
Our high-quality wires are available in three distinct metals: Tantalum, Tungsten, and Molybdenum, each offering unique properties to suit various industrial, medical, and technological applications. We provide customizable options to meet diverse specifications and ensure that every wire meets the highest standards of performance, reliability, and quality.
We offer wires in a range of diameters, purities, and mechanical properties, allowing for precise selection according to your project’s requirements. Our wires are manufactured using advanced processes like cold-working, vacuum melting, and electron-beam melting to achieve desired physical and chemical characteristics. All products comply with relevant industry standards (e.g., ASTM), ensuring quality and consistency across applications.
