piano wire for "vibrating wire" application
Right now I'm developing a strain gage using High Carbon, Spring Tempered, C1085 Steel 0.23 mm piano wire. However from my few experiments from this material and some other materials, I found that C1085 Steel was not hard enough, and not so good and stable for "vibrating wire" application. Is...- Layvinh

Wire material for Strain Gage application
Thank you for your feedback. As you mentioned, when selecting materials we consider material strength, and its composition(such like regulated inside ASTM specs. we used SS-304 piano wire quality wire, but when excite with pulse current, the output signal is not so stable (maybe due to...- Layvinh

I am in the process of developing wire for Strain Gage application. Generally, this Strain Gage is welded to a steel truss, or steel rib support ( in deep excavations or tunneling) for measuring internal stress within these structures. I wonder if anyone can advise me which wire material is...- Layvinh
