Properties Tempered

Alloy 188 can be cold rolled to achieve the temper properties required by specific customers
and/or manufacturing requirements. Contact Ulbrich Wire for details.

Additional Properties

Corrosion Resistance
Refer to NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers) for recommendations.

Standard Wire Finishes

Extra Clean: (XC) Extra clean is also referred to as “bright annealed” or “bright annealed and cold

rolled”
Grease (round wire only): Drawn in a heavy grease produces an “Ultra bright” finish for decorative
applications
Soap (round wire only): Soap is used as a lubricant in the drawing process and is not removed. It
acts as a lubricant during customer part forming operation. A soap finish is available in tempered
products.
Plated: Many plating options are available.
∗Special finishes are available: Contact Ulbrich Wire Sales with special finish and plating requests.
