Hello Martin,

We note that 2014 Fisk Alloy, Inc. manufactures this product in the USA. See www.fiskalloy.com/product/c18661/ for information on C18661 Copper-Magnesium (CMG1) Alloy Wire. Because this alloy can be manufactured by Fisk in three different tempers, {Half-Hard (H02) Hard (H04) and Spring (H08)} and because it is a high strength alloy, we recommend you discuss this alloy in detail with your machinery suppliers. (Select a number of them so you get the best possible information.) Our concerns include tensile strength and spring back. It is possible you may need a planetary machine like a tubular strander plus perhaps up to three closing dies in a row to lock the strand before releasing conductor tension after the pull-out capstan.

This is essentially all the information we have. Please be very cautious with your machinery selection.

Hello,

Thank you very much for the information Peter, as always very helpful information
