MALIN CO. Monel Aerospace Lockwires
Bolted materials secured together often get loose when subjected to vibrations and diverse stress types that are quite dangerous in the aviation industry applications. Malin Co. Monel safety wires / lock wires are used in aerospace, automobile, marine & military applications to lock a wire arou...nd these fasteners / bolts for preventing them from coming loose. These lock wires counteract the loosening force from the fasteners to secure them firmly as a lock and ensure a safer operation.Read more

Working Mechanism
- These lock wires are installed on fasteners using a double-twist or single-wire application method.
- In general applications, the double twist formation is used by twisting two strands of wire together inside the fasteners.
- Single-wire or single-strand formation is applicable with fasteners that are closely spaced, such as in electrical systems.
- The wire should be pulled / tensioned in the tightening direction.
- After the wire is wound around the fasteners, their ends should be crimped & bent to prevent loosening of tension.
- Now, these safety wirings will prevent the fasteners from loosening by counteracting it with tightening.
Features
- Malin aviation safety wires are available in colour-coded cans for easy identification of wire material.
- Their safety wire canister is moulded from high-density recyclable polyethylene that protects the safety wire from grease & corrosive materials.
- These Malin Co. Safety wires are red colour coded for indicating that the lock wires are made from Monel alloy.
- Monel alloy is ideal for marine, engineering, chemical and hydrocarbon processing environments.
- The brand also offers these safety wires in spools, coils and bulk variants having a wide range of wire lengths.
Standards and Approvals
- ASTM B164
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between safety wire made from Monel and stainless steel?
Monel has a slightly greenish tinge, whereas stainless steel has a shiny, silvery appearance. Monel has better saltwater resistance & strength than stainless steel.
What do the various colour codes signify in Malin Co. lock wires?
- Blue canisters contain Malin Co stainless steel lock wires.
- Yellow coloured canisters contain lock wires made of Inconel.
- Orange canisters indicate oxidised Inconel safety wire.
- Red canisters contain lock wires made of Monel.
What are some points to remember before installing safety wires?
- Always de-energise nearby equipment, circuit, material or tools before installing safety wires to prevent shocks or injuries.
- Use a safety twist plier or simple plier to hold the wires while maintaining the tension.
