The total cold reduction and reduction per pass used during the drawing of fine wires affected the mechanical properties of two beta-titanium alloys. Both Ti-11.5Mo-6Zr-4.5Sn and Ti-13V-llCr-3Al showed increased yield strengths and low moduli of elasticity, which resulted in wires appropriate for orthodontic application.
