Titanium wire in coils is the standard supply format for drawn titanium wire before any downstream processing. Solid titanium rod or wire feedstock is continuously drawn through precision dies to the required diameter and wound into loose random-wound coils at the mill. The coiled format is preferred because it allows convenient handling, transport and downstream conversion -- rewinding onto weld spools, weaving into titanium mesh, straightening and cutting to length, or feeding into automated manufacturing systems.

Supply is reviewed per inquiry against wire diameter, tolerance class, grade, surface condition, coil weight and total quantity. Common grades and diameters may be available from stock; all grades and diameters can be coordinated as custom production.

Standards & Technical References

ASTM B863 / B863M — Standard Specification for Titanium and Titanium Alloy Wire. This specification covers drawn titanium and titanium alloy wire in various grades, including commercially pure titanium (Grades 1 through 4) and titanium alloys including Grade 5, Grade 7, Grade 9, Grade 12 and Grade 23. It specifies wire diameter ranges, tolerance classes, tensile properties, chemical composition and packaging requirements.

This standard is provided as an industry reference. The specific applicability to a given order should be confirmed against the wire grade, diameter, tolerance class and the customer's drawing or specification.

Typical Application Areas

Titanium wire in coils is rarely used as a finished product -- it is a primary feedstock that is converted into other forms or used directly in applications requiring continuous or semi-continuous wire supply.

WF

Welding Filler Feedstock

Coiled titanium wire is rewound by the end user or processor onto welding spools for GTAW/MIG automated welding systems.

WM

Woven Mesh Feedstock

Continuous titanium wire feedstock for weaving titanium mesh, filter cloth and screen media.

RW

Rewinding & Respooling

Customers rewound coiled wire onto their own spools or reels for their manufacturing processes.

ST

Straightening & Cutting

Coiled wire straightened and cut to length for welding filler rods, pin stock or discrete component feedstock.

Quality & Documentation

  • Mill test certificates covering chemical composition, tensile properties and drawing route.
  • Wire diameter verification reports covering the specified tolerance class.
  • Surface condition verification where a specific surface finish is required.
  • Heat or lot traceability records where available and applicable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which titanium wire grades are available from stock?

Grade 1 (commercially pure titanium) and Grade 2 titanium wire are available from stock in common diameters. Partial Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) stock may be available -- confirmed per order against wire diameter. Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5 (non-stock diameters), Grade 7, Grade 9, Grade 12, Grade 23 and other specialty grades are produced to order and their feasibility depends on the required diameter and drawing properties of the alloy.

What is the difference between titanium wire in coils and titanium wire on spools?

Titanium wire in coils refers to loose random-wound coils that are the standard supply format from the drawing mill. Titanium wire on spools refers to wire that has been precision-layered onto plastic or metal spools designed for automated feeding systems. The wire itself can be identical -- the difference is the supply packaging form.

Is titanium wire covered by ASTM B863?

Yes. ASTM B863 / B863M is the primary standard specification for titanium and titanium alloy wire, covering drawn wire in commercially pure titanium grades 1 through 4 and titanium alloy grades including Grade 5, Grade 7, Grade 9, Grade 12 and Grade 23. The specific applicability to a given order should be confirmed against the wire grade and diameter.

What surface conditions are available for titanium wire?

Common surface conditions are as-drawn (cold-drawn surface from the final die pass), annealed (heat-treated after drawing), and bright annealed (heat-treated in a controlled atmosphere to prevent surface discoloration). The required surface condition should be specified in the inquiry.
