Tensile Strength - shown as a % of CS45, our most popular wire

Corrosion - The ratings are based on published specs for respective metals

Heat Resistance -The number indicates the highest temperature (degree Fahrenheit) this metal is rated for

Anti-magnetic Property - The numbers are based on published specs for respective metals

Weight is stated as a percent, using CS45 wire density as 100% and all others as a percent of CS45 density

Cost - shown as a % of CS45, our most popular wire. The cost will vary by wire size, quantity of individual size and the spot market price for each metal. The information in this column only gives a rough comparison from one grade to another.

Availability - Some wires are readily available in all sizes, others have long lead times and "Minimum Order" requirements
