Made of Type 316L Stainless Steel, this specially tempered wire has a different “feel” than other half-hard materials such as Goldfilled or Sterling Silver, however it is a great alternative and is stronger.  This material is perfect for teaching classes and practice. Ideal for all types of wire-wrapping, weight-bearing designs, and holding designs together. Stainless Steel is harder and will work harden faster than other wires, and resembles the finish of vintage platinum.  22 gauge half round pkg. length 15 meters.
