Prakash Enterprises

Shaped wires are normally made on Turks Head which operates on rolling mill principle. Turks head offer the following advantages :

• Increased tensile, yield and hardness values by as much as 50% over hot rolling or machining. Cold rolling refines the grain structure of the material which makes it harder and stronger.
• Excellent surface finish which allows plating or painting with minimal surface preparation.

Till a year ago, Prakash Enterprises was specializing in round wire only. As an going broadening of our product mix, we started making shaped wires supplier, steel shaped wires in 2004. Any wire that is not round, is a shaped wire. We are manufacturer and supplier of shaped wire and stainless steel wires. These are Square, Rectangular, Trapezoidal, D shaped etc. manufactured from high carbon steel, generally conforming to EN-42B/EN-42J. The wires are customer built for the taper required and are supplied in drawn or annealed finish.
Shaped wire can also be supplied in :

• Stainless steel - for washers, mesh Belt
• Aluminum or copper - electrical industry, zippers
• Mild steel - oil seals, general engineering
• 16MnCr5 - Motorcycle chain Bush

The name Turks Head was in all probability applied to this particular metalworking machine because of a fancied resemblance between the decorative four-strand Turks head knot and the four rolls of the machine.
