Abstract

The invention relates to a metal tie buckle (1) made from a single piece of rounded wire that has been bent into a predetermined configuration, wherein two pairs of strap engaging arms (3,5,9,13) that are essentially parallel to one another are provided for securing the buckle (1) to the strap (23). The buckle (1) has been treated with a hardening process, such as carburizing, carbonitriding, nitriding and induction hardening, that strengthens and toughens the buckle (1). This helps to keep the arms (3,5,9,13) parallel and prevents the propensity of the buckle (1) to achieve plastic deformation, which in turn helps to prevent the strap (23) from being pinched, or otherwise causing uneven stress on the strap (23), which could result in premature failure of the strap (23).
