Wire Drawing and Rolling

Wires

We specialize in drawing Platinum and Platinum alloys and offer a wide range of precious and refractory metals and other specialty alloys. Our fine wire drawings can be as small as 10 µm (0.0004”) diameter.  For example, very thin Pt 8W wires are produced in high volumes for both medical and electronic applications. 

Profiles

Should your profile always be round?  The answer is no.  In fact, many applications benefit from flattened, oval, or tapered ribbon profiles. This allows you to design smaller, more flexible devices.  With our profile rolling, we can provide maximum flexibility in designing the best shape for different applications.

Clad Materials

If there is not just one material or alloy that fulfils your requirements, we are able to offer wires and profiles from clad materials. For example, we can place a metal of high electrical conductivity into the core with a shell of another alloy, which produces the required mechanical strength.  Furthermore, this can be coated or clad with a precious metal for optimum biocompatibility, improved electrochemical resistance, or to create a diffusion barrier.

Tubes

Tubes are critical to many machining and micro component products.  We offer fine tube drawings, which range in wall thickness as small as 25 µm (0.001”). Our typical tube diameters range from 6 mm (0.24”) down to 0.1mm (0.004”).

Strips and Foils

Our high precision rolling technology enables us to offer ultra thin sheet, strip and ribbon materials.  Platinum Iridium 80/20 and 90/10 ribbons with a thickness of only 10 µm (0.0004”) are used to produce electrodes for neuro stimulation.  We can also produce mammography x-ray filters from Rhodium, which is very brittle, with a thickness of just 25 µm (0.001”).  Outstanding cleanliness and process control throughout the entire production process guarantees that your filters are free from any defects.
