Renaissance has instilled quality standards to ensure that each spool of wire meets each of its client’s specifications for quality music instrument string manufacturing.
Step 1: Drawing:
The drawing process reduces the diameter of the wire and/or the shape of the wire. After reducing the diameter of the wire, the wire is hardened and its tensile strength determined by a cold reduction process. This critical process changes the wire from basic wire to wire fit for music instrument strings allowing a spring or “memory retention” in the wire needed when a the musician stretches his strings while playing.
Step 2: Straightening:
Renaissance Wire ’s proprietary straightening process produces wire that continually exceeds the industry’s minimum standards making it one of the best in the industry.
Step 3: Plating:
The wire is plated using a hot tin dip emersion process.
Step 4: Inspection:
Renaissance inspects 100% of the spools produced. First a physical inspection is done checking the size of the wire. The wire is then checked for tensile strength by actually removing a section of the wire from the spool and placing it in a computer-controlled and monitored machine that will actually stretch the wire to its breaking point. Additionally, a twist test is done along with a visual inspection of the wire.
Each coil passing inspection is then wrapped in an anti-corrosive protective paper and packed in an oxidation-inhibitor bag. These measures protect the wire from moist or damp environments that the spools may encounter while in transit. |
