Types of stainless steel and common specifications of stainless steel wire

Type of stainless steel wire: generally, it is divided into 2-Series, 3-series, 4-series, 5-series and 6-series stainless steel according to austenite, ferrite, bidirectional stainless steel and martensitic stainless steel.

316 and 317 stainless steels (see the following for the properties of 317 stainless steel) are molybdenum containing stainless steels. The molybdenum content of 317 stainless steel is slightly higher than that of 316 stainless steel Due to the molybdenum in the steel, the overall performance of this steel is better than 310 and 304 stainless steel. 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 good chloride corrosion resistance, so it is usually used in marine environment. The maximum carbon content of 316L stainless steel is 0.03, which can be used for applications that cannot be annealed after welding and require maximum corrosion resistance.

Common specifications of stainless steel wire are as follows:

1. Stainless steel flexible wire code: s, soft[commonly known as hydrogen stripping]: the surface is bright, soft, non-magnetic, anti fatigue, large extension force and other characteristics. Specification: 0.03 - 5.0mm material: 301, 302, 304, 304L, 316, 316L, 310, 310S, 321, etc.

2. Stainless steel light draw wire code LD, light draw steel wire is drawn with small reduced surface after heat treatment. The surface is bright, soft, fatigue resistant, and has certain extension force. Specification: 0.03 - 5.0mm material: 301, 302, 304, 304L, 316, 316L, 310, 310S, 321, etc.

3. Code of stainless steel cold draw wire: WCD, cold draw, smooth surface, good toughness, wear resistance specification: 0.03 - 6.0mm, material: 302, 304, 304L, 316, 316L, 310, 310S, 321, etc.

In addition, there are: stainless steel spring wire: high hardness, strong elasticity, good wear resistance and compression resistance specification: 0.15 - 3.0mm material: 302, 304H, 304L, 316, 316L, 310, 310S, 321, etc.
