The 3x2 Hardwire is a high carbon steel cord with a micro-fine brass or AO-brass (Adhesion Optimized) coating. The 3x2 wire cord is made by twisting 5 individual wire together - three straight filaments wrapped by 2 filaments (All filaments are 0.01378 in diameter) at a high twist angle. The result is an easy to handle cord that combines great engineering values with excellent economics. If your application is tension dominated choose the 3x2. Characteristics: - Best properties in tensile applications.
- Excellent mix of engineering properties - Up to 8 KIPS/inch.
- Great stiffness, instant wet-ability, and excellent conformability.
- Works in all resins.
- Asymmetric shape acts like a screw and gives mechanical bonding characteristics
- Excellent fatigue properties in tension and in high-flex situations.
- Great choice for extrusion and pultrusion applications.
