   Helix
   Is the amount of spring a welding wire exhibits. It is measured by throwing a length of wire onto a flat floor and then measuring how high the wire end is from the ground. Ideally the wire should have no helix at all. If the wire exhibits a helix then it may spiral as it leaves the torch contact tip.

    Helix
    A `helix` (pl: `helices`), from the Greek word `έλικαÃ?‚/έλιξ`, is a three-dimensional, twisted shape. Common objects formed like a helix are a spring, a screw, and a spiral staircase (though the last would be more correctly called helical). Helices are important in biology, as the DNA molecule is formed as two intertwined helices, and many proteins have helical substructures, known as alpha helices.
