Insulated Stainless Steel Wire |
| |
Stainless Steel
Wire features Type 316 composition, except for Double Spring
strength which has an Elgiloy composition. All Stainless Steel
Wire is stress annealed to optimize handling characteristics.
Annealed, Full, and Half are descriptive terms for the way the wire was
cured in the drawing process. Each of these techniques will help yield
different tensile strengths given in thousands of pounds per square inch
(kPSI). The main points to think about are that the higher the kPSI the
more brittle the wire is but the better it retains its shape. The high
kPSI wire is good for making straight electrodes that need to penetrate
through tissue. The low kPSI is a softer more flexible wire, it is less
likely to break if you repetitively bend the wire. This low kPSI wire is
good for making twisted pair electrodes. |
