I have a sister who makes light fixtures as a cottage industry. She called me
just now wanting to know how to go about getting or making stainless wire rings,
spring tempered, made from something like 16 ga. wire. I don't see any people
who directly source rings in lampshade-sized dimensions (like 3" up) so now I'm
wondering about making them.
What kind of stainless wire can be spring-tempered?
Is it possible to make a spring-tempered stainless ring using only O/A
equipment? Or is TIG welding completely required?
Any bright ideas?

O/A would be fine for silverbrazing, which works well on stainless.
A bandsaw blade welder would probably also work.
