Product Description Of Stainless Steel Wire

Stainless steel wire is manufactured through hot rolling and cold drawing processes, resulting in wire that features high tensile strength, resistance to corrosion, and excellent formability. Gengfei offers stainless wire in coils, spools, or straight-cut lengths with various surface finishes such as bright, matte, or pickled.

We supply austenitic, ferritic, martensitic, and duplex stainless steel wire in grades like 304, 316, 430, 310, 321, and 904L, tailored for different industries including electronics, textiles, construction, medical devices, and more.

FAQs – Stainless Steel Wire

Q1: What is the difference between soft and hard stainless steel wire?
A: Soft wire (annealed) is easier to bend or form and is ideal for weaving or braiding. Hard wire (cold drawn) has higher strength and is better for springs or structural uses.

Q2: Is stainless steel wire magnetic?
A: It depends on the grade. 304/316 are non-magnetic in annealed state but may become slightly magnetic after cold working. 430 and martensitic wires are magnetic.

Q3: Can you supply ultra-fine wire below 0.1 mm?
A: Yes. Gengfei can supply fine wire as thin as 0.02 mm for electronic, medical, or precision use.

Q4: What’s the typical packaging for stainless steel wire?
A: Coils, spools, or straight lengths. Coils are stretch-wrapped, strapped, and palletized for export protection.

Q5: Can it be used for welding?
A: Yes. Certain stainless wire grades like ER308, ER316, etc., are used as filler wire for MIG and TIG welding.
