  • Title: Effect of stretching on the physical properties of stainless steel wire.
    Author: Colm SJ, Farish SE.
    Journal: J Oral Maxillofac Surg; 1989 Dec; 47(12):1296-7. PubMed ID: 2585181.
    Abstract:
    Stretching of 25-gauge stainless steel wire causes alterations in the physical properties of the wire. The yield strength and ultimate tensile strength are increased and the elasticity is decreased. These alterations make stretched wire more satisfactory for maxillofacial surgical applications than unstretched wire.
