Types of stainless steel and common specifications of stainless steel wire

Types of stainless steel wire: Generally, they are classified into austenitic, ferritic, bidirectional stainless steel and martensitic stainless steel, mainly divided into 2 series, 3 series, 4 series, 5 series and 6 series stainless steel.

316 and 317 stainless steels (the properties of 317 stainless steel are listed below) are molybdenum-containing stainless steel grades. The molybdenum content in 317 stainless steel is slightly higher than that in 316 stainless steel. Due to the molybdenum in the steel, the overall performance of this steel grade is superior to that of 310 and 304 stainless steels. Under high-temperature conditions, when the concentration of sulfuric acid is lower than 15% and higher than 85%, 316 stainless steel has a wide range of applications. 316 stainless steel also has excellent resistance to chloride erosion, so it is usually used in Marine environments. The maximum carbon content of 316L stainless steel is 0.03, making it suitable for applications where annealing is not possible after welding and where maximum corrosion resistance is required.

The common specifications of stainless steel wire are as follows:

1. Stainless steel flexible wire code :S,soft[commonly known as hydrogen annealed wire]: It features a bright surface, softness, non-magnetism, fatigue resistance, and high elongation. Specification: 0.03-5.0mm Material: 301, 302, 304, 304L, 316, 316L, 310, 310S, 321, etc.

2. The code for the stainless steel light drawing wire is LD. The lightly drawn steel wire is drawn with a small reduction surface after heat treatment. It features a bright surface, is relatively soft, fatigue-resistant, and has a certain degree of elongation. Specification: 0.03-5.0mm Material: 301, 302, 304, 304L, 316, 316L, 310, 310S, 321, etc.

3. Stainless steel cold drawn wire code :WCD,cold drawn, smooth surface, good toughness, wear-resistant gauge: 0.03-6.0mm Materials: 302, 304, 304L, 316, 316L, 310, 310S, 321, etc.

In addition, there are: stainless steel spring wires: high hardness, strong elasticity, good wear resistance and pressure resistance. Size: 0.15-3.0mm. Materials: 302, 304H, 304L, 316, 316L, 310, 310S, 321, etc.
