K&S Music/Piano Wire, .125 x 12in (1 pc)

Description

K&S Music/Piano Wire .125 x 12in – a genuine K&S modelling material (product code KNS5507).

Music and Piano Wire length sections are precision-drawn high-carbon steel rod materials engineered to deliver exceptional tensile strength, outstanding spring elasticity, and dimensional stability for engineering prototypes, model mechanics, and intricate craft applications. Featuring a protective phosphate finish, these spring-tempered steel wires provide engineers, model makers, and designers with a highly resilient metal substrate for fabricating custom extension or compression springs, control linkages, and high-stress structural pins.

Manufactured from premium ASTM A228 carbon steel, this wire is specifically heat-treated to withstand repeated flex cycles without taking a permanent set or losing elasticity. The smooth phosphate coating reduces surface friction during wire forming while offering an effective protective layer against oxidation. The wire can be cold-formed into tight coils or bent using specialized wire-forming pliers, ground to precise bevels, and anchored into assemblies using mechanical fasteners or structural adhesives.

Available in a broad selection of wire gauges, overall lengths, and bulk pack choices across the product range, these music wire lengths offer a dependable, professional-grade solution for outfitting radio-controlled model landing gear, mechanical linkages, and high-fidelity scale dioramas.

Key features

• ASTM A228 High-Carbon Steel: Spring-tempered alloy construction delivers ultra-high tensile strength and superior resistance to permanent deformation.
• Phosphate Coating: Precision surface treatment enhances lubrication, aids wire forming, and provides foundational corrosion resistance.
• Exceptional Spring Memory: Flexes under significant loads and snaps back accurately, making it the premier choice for custom spring coiling and mechanical pushrods.
• Versatile Workshop Utility: Cuts cleanly with heavy-duty wire shears or abrasive wheels, ideal for linkage rods, armatures, and structural pins.
• Safety & Compliance: Fully lead-free and compliant with RoHS and R.E.A.C.H. standards for safe studio and workshop handling.
