Coatings Available for Stainless Wire

 

Coatings are put on wire for ease of drawing the wire but also to provide lubricant for the spring coilers.

 

Soap Coated

Phosphate™: Gibbs Interwire trade name for soap drawn stainless

Non-metallic coating

Most common and least expensive coating available

How it is applied – Soap coating is a two-step process:

First, a precoat is put on the wire in the annealed condition. Drawing soaps then adhere to the precoat during the drawing stage. Thus, the coating is composed of pre-coat and drawing soaps.

Note: Each mill uses different pre-coats and drawing soaps

 

Nickel Coating

Metallic premium coating

Higher cost than soap coated

Provides excellent lubricant for the spring coiler. A very consistent coating.

Can be drawn in soaps or oil

Soap-Drawn Nickel: provides more lubrication as soap will adhere to the nickel during the drawing process

Oil-Drawn Nickel: provides less lubricant but cleaner material (no soap residue)

How it works –

Nickel is put on the process wire (annealed condition) electrolytically and then drawn providing excellent adherence to the surface of the wire

Note: not all wire mills have the capability to provide this type of coating

 

Bright Finish

Very little lubricant

Not typically recommended for spring coiling

Used mainly where a bright wire is needed for aesthetics (luster) and/or a functional bright finish (when surface finish, Ra, RMS, roughness can affect the performance of the end product)

Example Application: Bright Finish is standard in medical wire

How it works –

Wire is drawn in diamond dies and oil to provide the bright, lustrous finish

Note: Generally finer diameters (.030 & below) are requested in this finish in the spring temper condition
