The Morelli Stainless Steel Round Hard Wire Ø.016″ is a 0.40 mm round section of hard-temper CrNi stainless steel, supplied on a 50 g roll of approximately 50 m. It is a mid-light bending gauge: firm enough to resist casual distortion in handling, yet still readily formed with conventional bending pliers.
Key Features
0.40 mm round section — firm under the fingers but still shaped with ordinary bending pliers.
Hard temper — formed geometry is retained once the bend is made, rather than easing back.
Consistent diameter along the roll — the section measured at one point matches the section elsewhere, so bends repeat predictably.
Chromium-nickel stainless steel — a single alloy specification across the whole roll.
Roll presentation — each piece is sized at the bench instead of being fixed in advance.

Clinical Applications
Removable appliance fabrication using a section that balances formability against resistance to accidental bending.
Repeatable bend sequences made easier by the uniform 0.40 mm diameter along the roll.
General laboratory shaping where a mid-light gauge suits the work at hand.
Where does formability meet stability?
A 0.40 mm hard-drawn round section bends freely and still offers enough stiffness to survive handling.
