The Morelli Stainless Steel Round Hard Wire Ø.018″ is a hard-temper chromium-nickel stainless wire of 0.45 mm round section, wound on a 50 g roll of roughly 40 m. At this diameter the wire has a noticeably firmer feel in the pliers and greater resistance to being pushed out of shape.
Key Features
0.45 mm diameter — a firmer feel under the pliers, with more resistance to unintended distortion.
Hard-temper CrNi — drawn hard so that a completed bend keeps its angle.
Round cross-section — free to bend in any plane, with no orientation to set before forming.
Smooth drawn surface — the wire runs cleanly through tubing and pliers during shaping.

Clinical Applications
Removable appliance elements that benefit from a firm section which is still comfortably hand-formable.
Shaping that must survive handling where 0.45 mm resists being knocked out of form during fitting.
Laboratory fabrication from the roll cutting each piece to the size the case requires.
Looking for a step up in firmness without losing bendability?
At 0.45 mm, hard-drawn and round, the wire resists distortion while still yielding to the pliers on demand.
