Specialty Aluminum Wire
Our aluminum wire is engineered to meet your individual specifications and application – not taken off the shelf. Staff Metallurgists are available when needed to assist you in determining the best alloy, temper, and process needed to produce the highest-quality end product. With Beneke’s unique Trial Order Program, you can fine-tune your internal process and wire specification to efficiently produce the exact item you need without the burden of minimum production quantities.
Specialty Aluminum Rod
Our hot rolled aluminum rod offers the most consistent product you can find for your manufacturing needs. Our engineers will work with you to deliver a product that not only meets your specifications but works each and every time for your specific application. Beneke’s redraw rod partners offer consistent results with control of any essential property including chemistry, mechanical properties, and grain size. Your material will be manufactured on state of the art equipment designed for better surface quality and reduced seams.
Specialty Aluminum Bar
We produce our aluminum bar with your end product and manufacturing process in mind. We aim to produce a product that gives you consistent machining performance and leads you to your best product. Our engineering team can aid you in the selection of the best alloy, temper, and package to maximize your production efforts.
Give us a chance to show you why buying your Aluminum Wire, Rod, and Bar from Beneke is just better. Through diameter control, thermal treatment placement and process control, testing designed to prove your product meets your need, and care during the packaging process we can reduce variation in properties from order to order. This, in turn, will provide you with a much more consistent product to your customer.
Alloys
Non-Heat Treatable
Heat Treatable
Over the past 50 years, Beneke Wire Company has focused on superior surface quality. You can expect an excellent surface when ordering your aluminum wire. However, many applications require a special touch. For those applications, Beneke has an extensive listing of finishes available for your needs. All finishes are not available in all alloys but we can help guide you to match your application with the appropriate finish below:
FINISHES
#4 Finish:
A lustrous finish especially applicable for cold heading. This oxide free surface greatly improves tool life and uniformity in metal flow while heading. Product has enhanced, shiny appearance and will anodize well.
Anodizing Finish:
This oxide free surface has specific applications in products that are color anodized or bright dipped as a final operation. Adds a luster to the anodized part. Improves corrosion resistance.
Bright Finish:
Clean, chrome-like finish comparable to stainless or chrome finish on steel; improves cosmetic appearance of aluminum wire.
DNR Finish:
Specifically designed for those applications where surface imperfections must be minimized. Although technology is not present to provide a perfect surface, defects that are 1% of finished diameter are detected and removed with this process.
DOX Finish:
A satiny white finish specifically used on heat treated cold heading wire and rod. This oxide free surface greatly improves uniformity in metal flow during heading, thus giving the added advantage needed when heading heat treated wire and rod.
MICRO Finish:
A bright, lustrous finish applicable only to heat treated wire. This oxide free surface is particularly useful in escomatic wire or any application where close tolerances in diameter are required. Improved corrosion resistance is one of many advantages.
Type S Finish:
An oil free, clean, dry finish specifically for applications in which lubrication cannot be on the wire. All in process lubrication is cleaned from wire.
