heat can change the crystalline structure of the metal
the wrought wire is applied by:
soldering it to the minor connector
soldering it to the meshwork
incorporated in the wax pattern
imbedded into the acrylic resin (the most flexible)
a 20 gauge wire in 2x more flexible than an 18 gauge wire
a 20 gauge cast clasp into an .010 undercut is an alternative to wrought wire
