EPQ Wire

Key Features and Benefits of EPQ Wire

These Electro Polishing Quality wires are designed for dependable performance in fabrication and forming applications.

• Mirror Bright Surface Finish: The EPQ finish looks clean and smooth, which suits products that need a polished or decorative surface.
• Controlled Mechanical Strength: A tensile strength of around 700 to 1200 N/mm² supports strong, durable formed parts.
• Multiple Hardness Options: Conditions on offer include 1/8 hard, 1/4 hard, 1/2 hard, 3/4 hard, spring hard and full hard, to match different forming needs.
• High Dimensional Accuracy: Tight tolerance standards keep quality consistent and the diameter uniform.
• Flexible Surface Options: Depending on the application, choose a mirror bright EPQ finish, soap coated or matte finish.
• Reliable Packaging Options: Coils or spools make the wire easy to handle and efficient to process in manufacturing.

Specifications of EPQ Wire

Controlled dimensions and mechanical strength give EPQ wires reliable forming performance and a clean surface finish for stainless steel applications.

Manufacturers can rely on these specifications for consistent forming results and for the surface quality that electro-polished stainless steel components require.

Properties of Electro Polishing Quality Wires

A clean surface finish and consistent mechanical performance are the aims in producing EPQ wires. They fit applications where appearance, corrosion resistance and dependable forming are important.

• Bright and Smooth Surface: The mirror-bright finish of EPQ wire gives a clean, polished surface that supports electro polishing and decorative stainless steel applications.
• Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Being made of stainless steel, the wire is protected against rust and surface damage in demanding environments.
• Good Forming Ability: It can be bent, shaped and fabricated into different components with no loss of surface quality.
• Accurate Diameter Control: Strict tolerance limits keep thickness uniform and performance reliable during manufacturing.
• Balanced Mechanical Strength: Strength and flexibility are combined in the right proportion, for stable, durable fabricated parts.
• Multiple Hardness Conditions: Several hardness levels are available to suit different forming, shaping and industrial fabrication needs.
