Lockwire / Safety Wire
Lockwire, also known as safety wire, prevents fasteners from loosening in high-vibration aerospace, defense, motorsport, marine, and industrial assemblies. American Wire Works stocks alloy-specific lock wire plus military-spec MS and NASM items so buyers can order by the exact specification their drawing calls out.
