COATINGS FOR EVERY APPLICATION CWI’s team of specialists sets industry standards for the production of high-performance cold heading wire and bar stock. The broad range of coatings and lubricants, coupled with superior metallurgical consistency, ensure peak performance under demanding conditions of heat and pressure. Central Wire’s molybdenum disulfide coating decreases the coefficient of friction as heading and extrusion forces increase. In effect, the harder you work, the harder it works for you. The copper-moly coating has a shiny black appearance, is securely bonded to the wire surface,...
