The Morelli Stainless Steel Round Hard Wire Ø.020″ is a 0.50 mm round section in hard-temper CrNi stainless steel, supplied on a 50 g roll of about 32 m. This is a medium bending gauge: forming it calls for deliberate plier work, and the resulting shape is correspondingly harder to disturb.
Key Features
0.50 mm section — deliberate plier work to form, and correspondingly hard to disturb afterwards.
Hard temper — the drawn-hard condition means the bend angle set at the bench is the angle that remains.
Uniform round profile — no flats or edges to align, so the wire can be turned freely while bending.
Single alloy specification — chromium-nickel stainless steel throughout the roll.

Clinical Applications
Removable appliance construction in a section stiff enough to keep its geometry once seated.
Forms that must stay put where the 0.50 mm diameter resists deformation from routine handling.
Bench fabrication to measure taking each piece directly from the roll.
At what point does a bending wire become a structural one?
At 0.50 mm, hard-drawn and round, shaping effort rises and shape retention rises with it.
