Certifications we do not claim

ProEdge Wire is a focused specialty producer. The following are intentionally absent from our certificate library. If your supplier matrix requires any item below, route the RFQ elsewhere.

  • Not held. NADCAP (heat treat / NDT) — outsource partners cover when required.
  • Not held. ISO 13485 (medical devices QMS) — contact sales for Class II/III program review.
  • Out of catalog. Tungsten carbide wire, fiber-optic filament, and other chemistries outside our 47 alloy families.
  • Floor limit. No lead times under our published 5-business-day rush capability.
SECTION 03 / CENTERPIECE ARTIFACT

Tolerance and alloy matrix — held on every production run, not sampled.

ProEdge Wire holds ±0.0005" diameter tolerance across wire from 0.003" to 0.500", drawn from four primary alloy families and a stocked library of 47 compositions. The table below is the operational scope, not an aspirational brochure.

14d Standard custom lead time Quote-to-shipment window against a published logistics dashboard, refreshed weekly.
5d Qualified rush capability Floor limit on rush orders for qualified customers, documented in master supply agreements.

Methodology footnote

The 99.4% figure is calculated against the customer's original required date (CRD), not against an internal schedule date (ISD). Shipments are counted as on-time when the carrier hand-off is logged before 23:59 ET on the CRD. Audit sample size: 38,412 outbound shipments between July 2023 and December 2024. Full audit report available under NDA.

SECTION 06 / ENGINEERING FAQ

The questions a specifier asks before submitting an RFQ.

If your procurement matrix needs anything below answered in writing first, route it through sales and a metallurgist will respond inside one business day. Most answers here are also available on the live logistics dashboard.

What is your minimum order quantity on a custom wire run?

50 lbs for prototype and R&D runs on stocked alloys. Production runs typically start at 250 lbs, but the 50 lb program exists specifically to let engineering teams validate a drawing before committing to volume. We hold the same ±0.0005" tolerance window on prototype spools as on production runs.

What is the fastest lead time you will commit to in writing?

5 business days for qualified customers on stocked alloys within the 0.020"–0.125" diameter band. Faster than that is not something we will sign — we have turned down RFQs because the requested window was below our published floor. Rush capability is documented in the master supply agreement and audited against the same dashboard as standard orders.

What documentation ships with every order?

Every shipment leaves with a Certificate of Conformance tied to the lot number, a dimensional inspection report, and material traceability back to the melt source. PPAP packages (level 3, 4, or 5) are built per customer request. IMDS entries are filed on every automotive shipment. AS9102 first-article inspection is bundled on aerospace orders. RoHS and REACH declarations are available on request.

What is your ITAR posture for defense and dual-use wire?

ProEdge Wire is ITAR-registered and ships defense and dual-use conductors under a documented export-control workflow. We are not a prime on classified programs, but we are a tier-2/3 conductor supplier for several ITAR programs and operate under DFARS-compliant melt sources. DD-1348 and DD-250 receiving reports are supported on request.

Can you draw an alloy outside your 47-stock library?

Yes, with a metallurgist review on every RFQ. We do not draw tungsten carbide wire or fiber-optic filament — those chemistries sit outside our drawing physics. For other outside-list chemistries, submit the spec and a metallurgist will respond inside one business day with either a feasibility line, a sample program, or a recommendation for an alternate alloy in our stocked library.

How do you certify diameter tolerance — in-process or final?

Both. In-process laser micrometer readings are logged every 200 ft on continuous runs and every spool on batch runs. Final inspection uses a calibrated bench micrometer and optical comparator at the packaging step. Dimensional data is stored against the lot number for seven years and is downloadable from the customer portal inside 48 hours of shipment.
