Shaped wire
/shaped-wire-width152.jpg)
Stainless steel shaped wire (profiles) in a wide variety of near-net shapes, minimizing machining and finishing operations. The shaped wire is delivered with bright cold-rolled surface and close dimensional tolerances.
Sandvik's in-house tool manufacturing allows for special shapes in small batches, and we assist in developing a design that suits the customer's needs.
Shapes
Sandvik can provide profiles in more than 1300 different shapes.
