I'm unsure of how the metal alloy in the wound string wraps could impact tension myself. Strings do have different tension "feels" based mostly in my understanding on the core size and shape (hex cores vs round cores).
What proportion of say a .052 string is core wire and wrap wire is not standardized.


Maybe some one knows how wrap alloy can change overall tension and can answer your question directly. The meaning of my reply is to say you probably need to look at other factors other than the wrap alloy material itself as you zero in on the tension you prefer.
