Metallurgically bonded platinum or nickel-clad molybdenum wire for use in devices subjected to high temperatures, high vacuum and oxidation, is available from Anomet Products. Anomet Clad Molybdenum Wire is a metallurgically bonded alternative to solid wire and is capable of withstanding temperatures up to 1,200°C, depending upon the material and application. Featuring either platinum or nickel cladding, and depending upon the desired surface properties, this metallurgically bonded wire is available straight, spooled, and as ribbon. Providing superior ductility, formability and weld-ability, against wire that is plated or produced using deposition methods, Anomet Clad Molybdenum wire is offered in sizes from 0.1mm to 1.55mm OD with claddings from 14% to 38% by weight, and 4.5 to 55 microns, depending upon diameter. Applications include high vacuum devices and components for furnaces and sensors. Huestis has introduced a compact fine wire pay-off for strand annealing furnaces. The FWP1000 is designed to handle fine wire applications with very low process tension. The stand incorporates an AC variable speed drive and an integral dancer utilising a dancer duty potentiometer. adjustable counterweight, the unit is capable of handling fine wire as small as 0.005" diameter. Built for maintenance free operation, the stand uses lightweight aluminium sheaves with ball bearing and hard coated v-grooves. Quick lock arbor collars allow for spool changes without tooling. The dog pin plate includes an adjustable dog pin. Combined with an
