Metal wire
Unveiling the secrets of Valsecchi Orazio srl's flat wire
Valsecchi Orazio srl takes us on a captivating journey to explore one of its flagship products: its cold-rolled flat wire. Renowned for its dimensional and mechanical properties, it stands out as a versatile and high-performance solution for numerous industrial applications.
Cold-rolled flat wire: features and properties
Cold-rolled flat wire is manufactured through a specific cold forming process that guarantees a uniform rectangular cross section, a smooth surface, and tight tolerances. Compared to round wire, it offers greater resistance to bending and lateral stresses, as well as a larger contact surface — an advantage in applications requiring geometric precision, tight fits, or load transfer. Flat wire also lends itself to more controlled downstream processing, reducing deformation during bending, stamping, or assembly.
Industrial applications
Versatile and reliable, cold-rolled flat wire is used across numerous sectors:
- automotive, for structural components and fastening systems;
- electrical, for transformers and motors;
- furniture, for metal profiles and functional accessories such as hinges, locks, and drawer guides;
- general engineering, for spring elements and parts subject to controlled bending.
Its surface hardness and wear resistance ensure durability even under high-stress conditions.
Dimensional range and finishes of Valsecchi Orazio & C. Srl
Drawing on deep expertise in metal rolling and drawing, Valsecchi Orazio & C. Srl offers cold-rolled flat wire in cross sections ranging from 1.00×0.50 mm to 20.00×4.00 mm, available in hard, soft, or annealed tempers.
