Inconel Wire is the Ultimate Wire

Anyone who is searching for the very highest quality wire, either spooled or straight cut wire, inconel wire is the material to choose. Oftentimes referred to as the “Super Alloy” or “Uber Wire”, inconel wire is approximately 75% nickel, 20% chromium, and 2.5% magnesium with a little iron thrown in. Inconel wire is a much favored alloy when it comes to the fabrication of products that require superior resistance to corrosion from moisture, as well as damage from a host of corrosive chemicals and/or gasses. Superior in oxidation (rust) resistance to surgical grade stainless steel, spooled inconel wire and straight cut wire comes in a wide variety of lengths and gauges for an equally wide assortment of uses.

Inconel Wire is favored by Craft Jewelry Makers

Because of its near invulnerability to oxidation, as well as just about any other type of corrosion, inconel wire has long been favored by craft-based jewelers who use the versatile and economical wire in countless handcrafted designs. In terms of appearance, durability, and corrosion resistance, inconel wire is considered to be the next best thing to platinum, silver or gold. At a fraction of the cost of the preceding precious metals, inconel wire is the craft jeweler’s first choice, and the material can be found in thousands of jewelry and other decorative products.

Straight cut wire, in the inconel wire alloy, can be machine cut with extreme precision—another reason the material is popular with hand crafters. Inconel wire is also widely used in the fabrication of chain mail armor (as in the Knights of old), a product that requires exceptional strength and resistance to the elements. In addition to spooled and straight cut wire, inconel wire is also sold in various-sized, preformed ring shapes suitable for a broad spectrum of decorative uses. Inconel wire, in all its many forms, is available in a wide variety of gauges and can also be used in applications such as:

• Exterior use carts such as shopping carts
• Storage baskets in laboratory or medical settings
• Locker room or public pool clothing storage baskets
• The manufacture of precision products such as scientific instruments
• Durable goods applications
• Critical control components for aviation and auto industry
• Food preparation area storage shelving
• Consumer electronics
• Robotic applications
• Medical uses and more

Superior to Surgical Grade Stainless Steel—Inconel Wire is Used by Doctors

Needless to say, any wire used in a medical setting must be of the highest quality available. We’ve all heard of someone having their fractured jaw “wired shut” and inconel wire offers the premium alloy for this medical application. Spooled or straight cut wire can also be used for such medical and/or dental applications as:

• Catheters—wires that are inserted into the body
• Surgical needles 
• Surgical probes or other medical devices such as clamps or holders
• Orthodontics—tooth straightening braces
• Fractured bone immobilization and more
