Tolerances
|
Alloy Wire inspect all phases of production and our test
equipment can verify the tolerance of the wire/tape/ribbon/section/profile, surface
quality, roundness, strength properties and the stress
required to breaking point. Please see our standard tolerances below. We can offer tighter tolerances, please let us know what tolerance you require. |
