Helical Wire
Wire with a general cross-sectional shape that is non-circular and has an orientation that varies helically along the length of the wire. Used for threaded nails, spikes, concrete reinforcement, nonskid gratings, etc. Produced by helically twisting wire about its longitudinal axis or by rolling or grooving completed nails, screws, etc. Also, small-diameter steel spring wire, formed into a continuous helical spring shape, used for connecting individual spring coils together in an inner spring formation.
