 Cold
headings made easier
Manufacturers of quality fasteners will recognize more than one
dozen grades of alloy heading wire - see products. Each one is chemically
endowed for use in high temperature, high stress, or corrosive media.
Through careful processing, TDC makes these tough metals easier
to head, providing exact dimensions, uniform temper, and a coating
matched to the job
While our technilub coating is suitable
for most heading operations, we also offer KAL_GARD, soap and oil
coatings for special applications. And thanks to our scalping capabilities,
TDC can supply a defect-free surface for your critical jobs.
 Even
Tempered Spring Wire
Spring wire takes on a consistent quality at TDC-- an even temper
- We start with large heats of material
for consistency of composition.
You can except shipments up to 100,000 pounds from a single heat.
- When annealing is required, we use standard
annealing furnaces which hold temperature variations within plus
or minus 2-1/2 thousandths. That virtually assures an even temper
for final drawing.
- Most of our spring wire sizes are drawn
on a multi-hole drawing machines which produce a smooth finish
with a tightly adherent coating-- TDC's TECHNICOAT. A bright,
electro-polish quality wire is offered with an oil lubricant for
your four-slide work.
Spring wire sizes range from .032" diameter
to 3/8" diameter, available in small or large coils on carriers,
and in straight lengths.
