In modern medical device manufacturing, every component must meet strict demands for precision, biocompatibility, and reliability. Among the often-unsung heroes behind life-saving instruments and implants are wire forms — intricately shaped pieces of metal wire that deliver functionality, structural integrity, and performance consistency.
Stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance, long-term durability, and stable performance in outdoor or moisture-exposed environments, making it ideal for springs, wire forms, and clips used in HVAC, consumer products, and outdoor equipment. High-carbon steel delivers higher strength and lower cost but requires coatings and can degrade faster outdoors without proper protection.
When it comes to custom metal components, few solutions offer the adaptability and performance of wire forms. At James Spring & Wire Company, we understand the importance of delivering precise, high-quality custom wire forms that meet the unique demands of various industries. From simple hooks to complex multi-axis geometries, wire forms are an essential part… Read more »

Elgiloy wire is a high-performance material widely regarded for its applications, particularly in manufacturing springs and wire form components. Dubbed a ‘super-alloy,’ Elgiloy is a type of stainless steel known for its unique mechanical and chemical properties.
Wire forms or, more specifically, wire forming, is a fabrication technique that utilizes blanks of metal wire which is manipulated into standard or customized shapes for a variety of applications. The wire is typically drawn from blank strips or coiled spools of flat or round wire, rolled and tempered, and then formed into different configurations… Read more »
CNC wire forming or wire bending is an advanced technique used to manipulate metal into standard or customized shapes for the manufacturing of products. Consisting of various shapes and sizes, wire forms are fabricated with machines through heat treatment, cutting and bending. CNC wire forming machines operate by using standardized tooling to alter the shape… Read more »
Elgiloy is a specially fabricated alloy used in wire forms and spring applications. Elgiloy is a patented cobalt-base alloy compounded of cobalt, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, manganese, beryllium, carbon and iron. It can be used as-is or heat-treated.
Most people would give little thought to upcycle their old wire form springs. More than likely it’s the last thing on their minds when throwing out an old sofa or bed spring mattress. But there are those among us who have given thought to upcycle wire form springs, and have found many creative uses for… Read more »
