Part of what makes Central Wire a global leader for quality materials across various industries is our innovation. We continue to adapt with technological advances and use our metallurgical expertise to bring customers the strongest, most durable products for their demanding end-use applications.
One product line which has been advancing constantly is our Cold Heading Wire. Designed to withstand mission critical environments and harsh conditions, material consistency and strength is crucial to the performance of all Cold Heading products.
Cold Heading Applications and Industries
Cold Heading Wire consists of high-quality raw materials that are used commonly in fastening systems, such as rivets, pins, screws and bolts. These small components are often used across industries including:
- 航天
- AS9100 certified manufacturing plants allow for our Cold Heading to be used as fasteners in mission critical Aircraft applications. The excellent strength-to-weight ratio of the raw materials helps make us a trusted source for connective aircraft components.
- 汽车行业
- The strength-to-weight ratio as well as corrosion resistance of our Cold Heading alloys allows for durable use as engine components, transmission parts or in car suspension systems.
- 医疗类
- In precision Medical application such as implants, stents, surgical instruments and more, screws and pins manufactured from Cold Heading Wire are often used. The complex shape possibilities and durable materials meet the critical demands of this industry.
- 油和气
- Fasteners, valves and fittings in the Oil and Gas industry can be manufactured from Cold Heading products. Cold Heading products can handle the high pressures and toxic environments of downhole environments due to their heat tolerance and corrosion resistance.
The quality and durability of every little custom part of a vehicle, Medical product or Oil and Gas plant increases the reliability and consistency of the completed project. Screws and bolts may be among the smallest parts of an airplane or a car, but no traveler wants to hear that low-end or faulty ones were used by a manufacturer.
Here at Central Wire, we appreciate the importance of the small parts, which is why we use our metallurgical expertise to perfect our Cold Heading Wire product line.
Cold Heading Alloy Options
Due to the industry versatility and mission critical requirements of our Cold Heading products, we offer a variety of alloy options. Our expertise and understanding of end-use applications and custom manufacturing allows us to offer alloys with excellent strength, durability, corrosion resistance, or any other qualities your project requires. These alloy options include:
- 300 & 400 Series Stainless Steel
- 13-8 Mo, 15-7 Mo High-Strength Stainless Steels
- Invar 36 Nickel-Iron
- A286 Iron-Nickel-Chromium
- Monel® Specialty Series Nickel
- Inconel® Nickel-Chromium Series
- Copper Based Alloys
How Central Wire Ensures Material Consistency
Quality materials for mission critical applications are about more than just manufacturing products. Here are four ways that Central Wire ensures material consistency and durability in our Cold Heading product line:
- Mechanical Testing
- At Central Wire, quality control and industry standards are crucial to meeting customer expectations and offering products that they can trust. Our mechanical testing procedures include tensile testing, torsion testing, hardness testing and more to examine the physical qualities and durability of our products.
- Coating Option Variety
- For added durability and effectiveness in industry application, our Cold Heading Wire is available with various lubricant and coating options. TechCote™, TechBrite™, and Nickel Flash Coatings offer different benefits, from aesthetic consistency to added corrosion resistance.
- Non-Destructive Testing for Small Defects
- Some flaws or defects in metal alloys may be harder to detect, and destructive testing is not always the best measure. Non-destructive testing such as FPI (Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection) can discover tiny defects of flaws that are not visible to the naked eye but could slowly compromise the product.
- 符合DFARS（《国防联邦采购法规补充》）
- On our Cold Heading products, we can offer 100% DFARS (Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement) DFARS is a set of restrictions for the origination of raw materials intended to protect the US defense industry from the vulnerabilities of being overly dependent on foreign sources of supply.
