Semi-finished Products: Wires, Tubes, Strips and Rods
Wires, Strips, Tubes and Rods
Metals are worked to the first manufacturing stage through melting, drawing, cladding, rolling, profiling and special processing. Shaping and combining metals produces highly specific mechanical and electrical properties critical in device design. Heraeus specialties include:
- Fine wire drawing to as small as 0.0004” (10 µm) diameter
- Profiling to flattened, oval and tapered cross sections
- Cladding for electrical, shape memory and biocompatibility
- Tubes with diameters from 0.24” (6 mm) to tiny 0.004” (0,1 mm) configurations
- Strips and foils for conductive and filtering applications
