Product Description

This flat braid wire is precision-engineered from CuBe 172 alloy in a rectangular .001″ x .003″ profile, supplied in a high-strength temper with a tensile range of 185-245 ksi. It is packaged as one set of 16 bobbins on Steeger 30mm cores, each providing 2500 feet of continuous length for uninterrupted braiding operations. Ideal for medical applications such as catheter reinforcement, stent frameworks, and guidewires, it also serves industrial uses including EMI shielding and aerospace cable assemblies. The wire offers exceptional fatigue resistance, high torque transmission, and kink resistance, with an oxide-free surface ensuring reliable braid-ready performance. Its consistent dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties support compliance with critical ASTM standards for medical device manufacturing.
