Working Mechanism

  • Use the positive locking device function for securing two or more parts together.
  • These safety wires are installed on fasteners using either the single strand or double twist method.
  • The double twist method involves twisting the wires through an arc of 180 degrees.
  • The single-strand method involves the formation of closed geometrical patterns & closely spaced parts in an electrical system.
  • The wires should be pulled tight while twisting (without overstressing).
  • After wounding, their ends must be crimped and bent.
  • These safety wires prevent the fasteners from loosening by counteracting them with further tightening.
  • Lockwires should not be installed since they result in chafing and fatigue due to vibration.

Features

  • Malin Co. oxidised lockwires come in recyclable canisters that are moulded from high-density polyethylene for impact and corrosion resistance.
  • The lockwires are constructed of oxidised Inconel, which is used in high-risk applications to resist chloride stress corrosion cracking.
  • The undegradable, orange-coloured canisters keep the wires free from grease buildup or other corrosive materials.
  • They are available in a wide range of sizes, contained in canisters / coils / spools having the capacity to hold hundreds of feet of wire.

Standards and Approvals

  • AMS 5687
  • NASM

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Inconel?

Inconel Alloy 600 is a nickel-chromium alloy having excellent carburisation and oxidation resistance. The high nickel content resists chloride stress corrosion cracking. It can withstand cryogenic temperatures up to 700 degrees Fahrenheit.

What is the difference between Inconel and stainless steel?

Inconel offers better strength & corrosion resistance at high temperatures than stainless steel alloys. However, at lower temperatures, stainless steels like 17-4PH can provide higher strength than Inconel.

What are the different colour codes used for Malin Co.'s diverse lockwires?

  • Malin's line of colour-coded cans makes it easy to identify their lockwire types.
  • Yellow cans - Inconel lockwires
  • Blue cans - Stainless-steel lockwires
  • Orange cans - Oxidised Inconel lockwires
  • Red cans - Monel wires
