Zusammenfassung:The proper specifications of each and every component will ultimately dictate the overall wire characteristics (see below). [...]the smallest modification in any of them will significantly alter the overall character. The proximal end is predominantly made of steel. Since steel is an alloy, its actual characteristics show wide heterogeneity depending on the particular composition of the alloy.
