You shouldn’t have to compromise. Combining individual metals and alloys yields a superior wire system…

Although most wire manufacturers primarily provide “common-denominator,” off-the-shelf products, Anomet Products focuses on developing customized wire solutions. We are a genuine consultant to our customers; many of the world’s leading electronic and medical device OEMs consider us an extension of their wire design teams. This partnership-based orientation lets us understand our customers’ key challenges and specification requirements in-depth. It delivers ideally suited solutions through highly customized clad-metal wire designs. For example, our engineers can customize numerous metal and alloy properties to provide the “correct” balance of attributes and characteristics for your applications, including:

• Tensile strength

• Temper (annealed to full hard)

• Cladding thickness

• Cladding layer quantity (a minimum of a core plus one outer layer, up to a maximum of five individual layers)

• Corrosion resistance/biocompatibility

• Long continuous-length wire (lengths of over 100,000 feet are available)

• Fine grain-size materials

… to create metal wire solutions.

Anomet Products utilizes the most advanced metallurgical technologies and manufacturing processes to provide high-quality clad-metal wire composites for high-reliability applications. In addition to continuously improving material properties and quality, we simultaneously strive to curtail skyrocketing material costs— which today can represent as much as 90 percent of overall product costs. We employ a variety of heat, pressure, and reduction cladding techniques— such as co-extrusion and co-drawn rod and tube— to combine two or more metals or alloys. The result is a complete metallurgical bond within one material system. Significantly, these wire composite systems offer improved properties versus those provided by the individual metals themselves, including everything from greater tensile strength and conductivity to higher corrosion- and wear resistance.

One system which offers unlimited solutions for you.

Since our clad-metal wire acts as one system, it is a highly flexible and formable material that will not break, flake, or blister when bent or twisted. Perhaps most importantly, our manufacturing process is designed to accommodate your specifications. Our extensive availability of metal/alloy compositions, forms, and layers— plus our unique capability to offer virtually any ratio or thickness— means we can precisely meet customers’ material-property and material-cost requirements and provide an almost unlimited array of metal wire solutions.

Higher quality than electroplated wire. Lower cost than precious-metal solid wire.

Anomet Products’ clad-metal wire will not compromise your design. Regarding composite metal wire, the design specification process for developing high-reliability applications in extreme environments has often required making performance trade-offs. In trying to find the perfect alloy with all the properties required, engineers have typically been forced to sacrifice specific attributes or properties for the sake of others. This can result in compromised design and application quality standards. Fortunately, that’s not the case with Anomet Products’ clad-metal wire. 

Manufactured by bonding two or more metals or alloys, clad-metal wire composites can combine the properties of several different materials— plus enhanced reliability, ductility, and formability— at a lower cost. Of course, every engineer has a unique set of performance requirements, representing unique combinations of properties and attributes. That’s why Anomet Products works closely with you to develop material “systems” that possess those desired characteristics and do so to greater degrees than individual metals or alloys.
