Product Knowledge of 316 Stainless Steel Wire

Q1: What is the common diameter range of 316 stainless steel wire?

A1: The common diameter ranges from 0.05mm to 8.0mm, and the most popular specifications are 0.1mm-3.0mm. It can be customized into ultra-fine wire (≤0.1mm) for medical instruments and electronic components.

Q2: Can 316 stainless steel wire be used for medical instruments?

A2: Yes, it meets the medical-grade standard (ASTM F138), non-toxic, harmless and corrosion-resistant. It is used for manufacturing surgical sutures, medical guide wires, orthopedic implants and other high-precision medical instruments.

Q3: What is the corrosion resistance of 316 stainless steel wire?

A3: It has extremely strong corrosion resistance, which can resist corrosion from seawater, strong acid-base, chloride ions and other harsh media. It is not easy to rust or corrode even in long-term harsh environments, with stable performance.

Q4: Can 316 stainless steel wire be used for spring making?

A4: Yes, it has good elasticity and toughness, and is suitable for making high-end springs such as industrial springs, medical springs and electronic springs. The spring made of 316 stainless steel wire has long service life and not easy to lose elasticity.

Q5: What is the price difference between 316 and 304 stainless steel wires?

A5: The price of 316 stainless steel wire is 30%-50% higher than that of 304 stainless steel wire of the same diameter, mainly due to the addition of molybdenum element and higher material costs, which is suitable for high-end foreign trade orders.
