Alloys for wire - Import export

AMETEK Specialty Metal Products has been a leader in the development of shaped wire products for use in orthodontic brackets for more than 20 years. Whether orthodontic materials are needed for a new design process to increase torque strength in orthodontic brackets, or support for a highly customized next generation project, our engineers are ready to work with you to ensure success. Advantages As a world class metal wire manufacturer, we deliver custom wire shapes, custom wire alloys and precise sizes. Our shaped wire products deliver major advantages for the manufacture of near net shape orthodontic brackets. These include: Superior dimensional control for precision bracket geometries that reduce occlusal interference and improve patient comfort Tightly controlled alloy purity, consistency and composition for improved performance Improved die wear, formability and platability Highly customized materials enable increased torque strength

As a leading metal wire manufacturer, we engineer high tolerance custom shaped wire and flat wire products in a wide range of standard shapes in addition to custom shapes. The range of alloys available is nearly endless with choices from our own high purity wrought powder metallurgy alloys (nickel wire, Pfinodal® wire, Sealvar®, and Nickel Irons). We also process materials from nearly any metal wire manufacturer or rod producer on the planet including stainless wire, steel wire, aluminium wire and more. A comprehensive review of these materials can be found in our Shaped Wire Brochure Standard Shaped Wire Standard shaped wire is available from on-site tooling in round, square, and flat wire products. Edges of flat wire products can be profiled with square, rolled rounded edges, natural round edges or fully blended round edges. Applications for standard shaped wire include

Our weld wire sheathing material is used in both flux cored wire and metal cored welding wire processes. The wire sheathing is formed into a tubular product by our customers and the center of the tube contains the ‘fill’ (flux, metal powders, etc) to bring the wire to the desired chemistry. The finished wire is used across a wide breadth of industries in processes such as: Submerged Arc Welding (SMAW) Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) Wire Arc Thermal Spray Flux cored welding wire producers use our metal sheathing materials to prepare finished wire for thermal spray and in surfacing applications, in high temperature and corrosive environments. Cobalt Our Ductile Cobalt Alloys are used to produce wire to hardface applications in the construction, mining, and oil and gas industry. Our proprietary process allows us to offer high Cobalt containing products (91% Cobalt or more) while maintaining a highly ductile strip for wire forming.
