Wire, Ribbon & Sheet

sigmund-cohn-corp-metals-manufacturer-our-specialties-forms-and-applications-wire-1

Most of Sigmund Cohn Corp. metals and alloys are fabricated into wire form, in many cases to as small as .0003" diameter. Frequently round wire is rolled to rectangular cross sections of ribbon (flat wire) as thin as .0002" with a width-to-thickness ratio of 2:1 to as much as 75:1. Some wire is electroplated with Gold for improved corrosion resistance or with Tin or Lead for improved solderability. In many cases, an insulation is required. An appropriate enamel is applied onto round wire to rigid specifications including enamel thickness, uniformity and temperature rating. Multistrand wire is available, either stranded or braided.

Many of the alloys have found efficacy in use as precious metal medical wire. Surgical as well as implantable alloys are available for neurovascular interventional procedures and angioplasty as well as medical devices. Radiopaque and biocompatible alloys are available as guide wire (round and flat) and for coiling to treat aneurysms.

Sigmund Cohn Corp.’s wire products have been proven as electromechanical sensor wires in a wide array of commercial, industrial and defense uses. Ultra-fine precious & base metal wires for gas detectors, squibs, initiators, fuses, sensors & air bags are examples of these applications.
