Also referred to as plain wire, bright wire, or phos-coated wire
High Carbon material traditionally forms the bulk of most spring making requirements, it can then be processed and coated with final finishes such as zinc plating or powder coating to greatly increase cosmetic appearance and corrosion resistance.
