Fort Wayne Metals manufactures more than just medical wire. After all, our ability to draw wire to the finest sizes, our impeccable surface quality, and our ability to maintain tight tolerances are also useful in many non-medical applications. Our wire is used in industrial needs, resistance wire, in airplanes, and even in space.
Used in components where a high resistivity together with a low temperature coefficient of resistance is needed, i.e. precision resistors.
