Feature Steel wire, rod & rope production

Alloy Wire International is a manufacturer in exotic alloys like Inconel, Monel, Hastelloy and Nimonic, which are used for the production of springs, specialist seals, fasteners and other demanding applications for industries where an aggressive environment is encountered. Starting from as large as 21mm wire, they make the wire (either round, flat or shaped) to any customer size down as far as 0.025mm. Spring makers and other customers like the fact that there are no minimums – with some customers ordering just three metres of wire for the job in hand. AWI has won worldwide customer accreditation for making and delivering wire quickly – with a typical turn around time of three weeks. Exotic alloys and emergency service ▲

The Alloy Wire International plant

AWI’s shaped wire division has seen similar commitment to its future with the acquisition of a new larger factory, the installation of CNC equipment, roll profile grinding and wire straightening and cutting machines. Its customers are as diverse as model rail profile to wire profile for aero engines.

And when that’s not quick enough – for that occasion when, for example, an aircraft or oil platform or naval vessel needs a spring or springs within days, AWI manufactures the spring maker’s wire via its emergency manufacturing service. AWI is an expanding company. Its recent investments in brand new equipment such as multi-zone annealing furnace and 250kN Zwick tensile tester, and 100 per cent factory expansion are part of its programme to retain preferred supplier status for the long-term future.
