Questions & Answers

The surface of the wire has been galvanized (covered)?

As far as the manufacturer is concerned, this wire is spring-tempered, phosphate-coated, carbon steel meeting ASTM standard A228, and it meets ASTM standard A244. While the phosphate coating will provide some rust resistance, by itself it will not be able to protect the wire from rust if exposed to wet surroundings or outdoors for long periods. The reason for this is that phosphate coatings are usually microscopically porous and will allow moisture to penetrate

Are there 4 individual pieces (3" approx.) or is it 12" x 4? The pieces for the mobile I am making for my grandson don't have to be overly short. ?

Four 12" rods will be used

What is the bend radius of this wire? What is the best wire that can be cut to any size I need, but won't bend?

Assembled of hard wire, music wire is similar to the wire inside As well as being difficult to cut, it can be difficult to clean.

This wire does not seem to be good for making springs. Is it possible to use it?

For instance, I have built control rods for my mini rc planes from it. As long as there isn't too much bending, the plastic is bendable, but it does have some memory, meaning it will return to its original shape. Piano wire, or spring wire, is what is known as this. So you can almost certainly use it to build springs for your own home.

They are of good quality, but not stiff
5/5

The ones made in China won't have surface rust spots, like the ones from China. We will be using it as an anti-theft measure On a number of RC cars are sway bars Bend the pipe with needle nose pliers to fit. Cut the pipe to size with linesman's pliers while wearing safety glasses.

Piano repair was the purpose of using it
4/5

To repair my upright piano, I used it as a replacement wire, but I found it a bit softer than I needed.

I did not expect it to do what it did. This is not the fault of the product.
