K&s 503 Music Wire, 0.055-in. Od X 36-in., Steel

K&S Music Wire is a precision steel wire designed for applications requiring high strength and consistent tension. At 0.055 inches in outer diameter and 36 inches long, this wire is ideal for building springs, crafting musical instrument strings, creating tension mechanisms, and other demanding hobby or professional projects where reliable performance matters.

Made from high-tensile steel with a tensile strength rating of 300,000 to 331,000 psi, this music wire delivers exceptional load-bearing capacity and resists stretching under stress. The polished, corrosion-resistant finish protects the wire during storage and use, extending its service life in humid or variable conditions. Engineers, musicians, craftspeople, and hobbyists rely on music wire when standard wire stock cannot meet their precision or strength requirements.

Features and Benefits

• Precise 0.055-Inch Diameter: Guarantees exact fit for standard spring designs and string applications, delivering predictable tension for consistent results.
• 36-Inch Length: Provides ample material for most projects without requiring splicing or joining, reducing waste and setup time.
• High-Tensile Steel: With a tensile strength of 300,000 to 331,000 psi, this wire handles demanding load-bearing applications and resists breakage under stress.
• Corrosion-Resistant Finish: The polished surface resists rust and oxidation, maintaining performance and appearance over time in indoor or outdoor storage.
• Spring Tempered: Retains its spring characteristics for extended service life, making it suitable for applications requiring repeated flexing or tension.
