Flat wire product with high strength and bending uniformity for demanding applications such as wipers or zippers
Flat wire products

We feature a wide range of flat wire products

Flat rolled wire with high tensile strength and even bending properties

Waelzholz flat wire products are the first choice when it comes to the production of narrow but resilient products for manufacturing. Such things as zippers or wiper blades, which, despite their small size, are consistently expected to perform. The advantages: With flat wire we are able to produce long running lengths without welded seams, and the edge shapes of our products can be designed as desired.

A wide range of materials from spring steel to case-hardening steel

All of our steel material grades can also be used to manufacture flat rolled wire. We produce narrow steel strip in all materials of the DC grade, spring steel, steels for hardening and tempering and case-hardening steel variations. With this wide selection of variations we can realize extraordinary product features. Using high-speed martensitic hardening and tempering, we can produce an especially smooth, absolutely homogeneous hardened and tempered microstructure, its primary feature being its highly-uniform bendability. In addition, using eddy current technology adapted to our flat wire technology, we ensure the homogeneity of the material properties already during production. No matter what product you manufacture, be it coil spring, jigsaw blade or bushes, rollers or link plates – we have just the product to meet your requirements. Get in touch with us!

 

Application examples for flat wire products

Wiper blade with spring strip made of uniform bending flat wire ensures high strength and consistent pressure of the rubber profile on the windshield
Wiper blades

Flat wire with uniform bending properties

In a windshield wiper’s rubber profile, a spring rail made of flat wire inconspicuously enhances safety – slightly bent and under tension, it presses the rubber profile onto the windshield. Rolled from wire with robust natural edges, the material offers high strength and bending uniformity.

Bush timing chain made of high strength flat wire for engines with high precision wear resistance and homogeneous structure by flash martensite process
Timing chains

Highly resilient flat wire

High-precision and wear-resistant – materials used for timing chains in motors must meet both of these requirements. Flat wire products from Waelzholz are ideally suited for this purpose. Rolled from wire and hardened and tempered using the flash martensite process, the result is a more resilient material with an absolutely homogeneous structure.

Customized edge shape

We offer precision edges for every application imaginable: Be it mill edges, horizontally or vertically rolled, chase-threaded or tailor-made according to our customers’ specifications. The high degree of accuracy we use to produce edges within the narrowest of tolerances saves our customers time-consuming follow-up processing of the edges in their own production process. True added value.
