Claims
- 1. A method of producing a triangular cross sectioned wire comprising:
- forming a straight wire of substantially circular cross section;
- cutting said straight wire of substantially circular cross section into at least one substantially straight length;
- treating said at least one substantially straight length by applying heat thereto;
- washing said at least one substantially straight length with acid; and
- drawing said at least one substantially straight length of said straight wire of substantially circular cross section through a plurality of substantially triangular shaped dies of successively reduced size without bending or winding said straight wire therebetween to form at least one substantially straight length of said straight wire having a triangular cross section.
- 2. The method of claim 1, wherein said triangular cross section is an approximately regular triangular cross section.
- 3. The method of claim 1, further comprising setting an area-reducing percentage of said triangular shaped dies to be such that plastic deformation proximate each longitudinal vertice of said straight wire having a triangular cross section is within a range of elastic strain which exhibits a substantially constant elastic character.
