Our Manufacturing
It has grown to become the leading redraw manufacturer of Beryllium Copper Fine Wires in the USA. Our manufacturing origins, which date to 1960, built our reputation on delivering precision specialty wire on time and to the highest quality standards.
We are particularly proud of our in-house Computerised Gold Plating Facilities and Silver-Plating Facilities which complement our existing high-speed tin and tin-lead lines.
Although we specialize in Beryllium Copper, our products encompass a broad spectrum of Alloys, including Brass, Bronze, Copper, Copper Alloys, Nickel, Nickel-Iron Expansion Alloys, and Speciality Cladded Combinations.
Round, flat, square, and shaped wires are custom produced both unplated and plated with gold, silver, palladium, palladium nickel, nickel, copper, tin, and tin-lead electroplated finishes. Wires can be manufactured with surfaces knurled with patterns and serrations or with rolled-in features.
RF Wire Technologies, LLC custom-produced specialty wires are found in a great number of widely assorted electromechanical, magnetic, and electronic applications. They are used in the manufacture of parts and components for automotive, cellular telecommunications, computers, and computer peripherals.
Milled Wire Products
We specialize in milled wire products such as: Round Wires, Super Strip, Flat Wires, Shaped Wires, Square Wire, Spring Wires, Hexagonal Wire and Precision Rods & Pins.
Our many alloys available include ELECTROLYTIC TOUGH PITCH COPPER, OXYGEN FREE COPPER, OXYGEN FREE SILVER BEARING COPPER, CADMIUM COPPER, MAGNESIUM COPPER, GILDING BRONZE, COMMERCIAL BRONZE, JEWELRY BRONZE, PHOSPHOR BRONZE, LOW SILICON BRONZE, HIGH SILICON BRONZE, RED BRASS, LOW BRASS, CARTRIDGE BRASS, YELLOW BRASS, TIN-BEARING COPPER NICKEL, NICKEL SILVER, and STERLING SILVER.
