Silk® Nitinol wire

Our Silk® Nitinol wire is an ultra-smooth, oxide-free Nitinol wire, specially processed to achieve a surface roughness of 0.0762 µm [3 µin] RMS or less.

Understanding the benefits

The ultra-smooth surface of Silk® Nitinol wire has been found to reduce snags in braiding operations by reducing the friction between wires. Silk® Nitinol wire has a bright, smooth surface, and is otherwise equivalent to our etched Nitinol.

 

Design specifications

Silk® Nitinol wire is available as round wire in diameters ranging from 0.020 mm to 1.01 mm [0.0008 in to 0.040 in] and can be manufactured in all of our Nitinol grades.
