It comes in many varieties.

There is NO lock wire that is "soft steel" as you declared, you dumb
****tard. And all the dancing in the world will not allow you to achieve
escape velocity from your utter stupidity.
LOCK WIRE IS HIGH STRENGTH STAINLESS.
YOU are a goddamned retard.
So that's why they supply it made out of brass, copper, ally etc?

Again you prove that you did not read the very site you posted. They
sell wire. All kinds of wire. The only kind they sell that they refer
to as lock wire is stainless.

Sigh. Let me cut and paste the relevant bit:-

Now surely even you can read that? There aren't any really difficult words
in it.


OBTW, in the Navy we used a lot of lock wire made from inconel. Nuts on
bolted flanges on piping in bilges, were seawater was a corrosion
problem. The bolts/nuts/flanges were inconel, so the wire was too for
compatibility.
