Edges Classifications – Let Us Know Your Preference!

No. 1 Edge

A Smooth, uniform, round or square edge, either slit or filed or slit and edge rolled as specified.

No. 2 Edge

A natural round mill edge carried through from the hot rolled band. Has not been slit, filed, or edge rolled. Tolerances not closer than hot-rolled strip limits.

No. 3 Edge

Square, produced by slitting only. Not Filed. Width tolerances close.

No. 4 Edge

A round edge produced by edge rolling either from a natural mill edge or from slit edge strip. Not as perfect as No. 1 Edge. Width tolerances liberal.

No. 5 Edge

An approximately square edge produced by slitting and filing or slitting and rolling to remove burr.

No. 6 Edge

A square edge produced by square edge rolling, generally from square edge hot-rolled occasionally from slit strip. Width tolerances and finish not as exacting as No. 1 Edge.

Our flat wire is produced by cold rolling either redrawn round wire or rod. Depending on the finish temper or the amount of reduction, an annealing process may be required during the flattening process. Some of the advantages of flat wire are tight tolerances, less camber, and a smoother edge.
