Temper & Size
H & W Wire Corporation is a manufacturer of Aluminum wire (Round, Square, Rectangle).
Drawing capabilities for Round wire is through three drawing machines. A Syncro F-Series 13- Die, Conn. Wire 7-Die Tandem and Cook 12-Die Drawing machines. Grieve Annealing Furnace to provide annealing to “O” temper. Making the wire either hard to bend or easy to bend.
Each alloy has a different ultimate tensile strength and percent of elongation that determines that hard or softness.
