Stainless steel wire

 

Stainless steel wire can be produced to with a diameter of about 13 microns, that is about one-sixth the thickness of a strand of hair. This is widely used in mesh for screen printing, electronic circuit boards and even clothing applications. The increased life of stainless steel ad to the longevity of the products. This gives your products a longer life before becoming extinct. Not to mention that stainless steel is one of the most cleanest and environmentally friendly processes in the steel industry.

 

300 Series Stainless Steels.
This group of alloys are non-magnetic and have an austenitic structure. The basic alloy contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel. These alloys are subject to crevice corrosion and pitting. They have a range of incubation times in seawater ranging from essentially zero in the case of the free machining grades, such as Type 303, to 6 months to 1 year for the best alloys, such as Type 316. They have been widely used in facilities with mixed results. If used in an application where chloride levels are low or where concentration cell corrosion has been prevented through design, they are likely to perform well. When chloride levels are high and where concentration cells can occur, the performance of these alloys is often poor. They must always be selected with care for a specific application and the effect of potential non-uniform attack on system performance must be addressed.

400 Series Stainless Steels.
This group of alloys are magnetic and have a martensitic structure. The basic alloy contains 11% chromium and 1% manganese. These alloys can be hardened by heat treatment but have poor resistance to corrosion. They are subject to both uniform and non-uniform attack in seawater. The incubation time for non-uniform corrosion attack in chloride containing environments is very short, often only hours or a few days. Unless protected, using these alloys in seawater or other environments where they are susceptible to corrosion is not recommended.

Stainless Steel 302 Melt Practice

Localized variations in chemistry can cause slight changes in ultimate tensile strength when drawing to fine wire. The pdf file at the bottom of the page (Typical Chemistry) will elaborate on this further.

 

Stainless Steel 302 Physical Properties

Density..............................0.285 lbs/in3
Modulus of Elasticity.......28.0 psi x 106
Electrical Resistivity........720 µohms-mm
Thermal Conductivity......16.3 W/m K (100°C)

 

Stainless Steel 302 Thermal Treatment

In wire form, cold worked Stainless Steel 302 will gain tensile strength when stress relieved at 350 - 427°C for 4 - 6 hours. A reducing atmosphere is preferred, but inert gas can be used. Stainless Steel 302 will fully anneal at 1010 - 1121°C in just a few minutes. There is a carbide precipitation phenomenon that occurs between 427 and 899°C that reduces the corrosion resistance of the alloy. American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) has described a test method to ensure the alloy has not been damaged.

 

Stainless Steel 302 Applications

Stainless Steel 302 alloy is the same as Stainless Steel 304 alloy except for the .12% carbon maximum. In Stainless Steel 304 the maximum carbon is .08%. Technically, all Stainless Steel 304 alloy meets the requirements of Stainless Steel 302 alloy, but not all Stainless Steel 302 can meet Stainless Steel 304 chemistry. Practically, this means in general Stainless Steel 302 is harder than Stainless Steel 304 with the same amount of cold work. End uses for Stainless Steel 302 include: stylets, catheters, guide wires, spring and needles.

 

Stainless Steel 302 Surface Conditions

Stainless steels develop a highly polished appearance as they are drawn to fine diameters. Surface roughness can be less than 5 RMS when processed using SCND* dies and measured with a profilometer. Diameters over .040" will not have as smooth a finish because of polycrystaline dies. Diameters over .100" have an even rougher surface because they are drawn with carbide dies. Additional finish treatments can enhance the surface of the wire.

304 wire>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

 

Stainless Steel 304 is the standard "18/8" stainless; it is the most common of all the stainless steel alloys. Stainless Steel 304 also has excellent welding characteristics; and post welding annealing is not required when welding thin sections. Also reffered to as A2, in accordance with ISO (International Orginization for Standardization).

 

Stainless Steel Grade 304L, the low carbon version of Stainless Steel 304, does not require post welding annealing and is used extensively in heavy gauge components (over 6mm). Stainless Steel Grade 304H is the higher carbon version, and finds application at elevated temperatures.

 

Stainless Steel 304 Applications

Typical application include:
Food processing equipment, particularly in beer brewing, milk processing and wine making.Kitchen benches, sinks, troughs, equipment and appliances.Architectural paneling, railings and trim.Chemical containers, including for transport.

Stainless Steel 304 Physical Properties

Density: 8,000 kg
Elastic Modulus: 193 GPa
Specific Heat: 500 J/kg.K
Electrical Resistivity: 720 nW.m

 

Stainless Steel 304 Corrosion Resistance

Excellent in a wide range of atmospheric environments and many corrosive media. Subject to pitting and crevice corrosion in warm chloride environments, and to stress corrosion cracking above about 60°C. Considered resistant to potable water with up to about 200mg/L chlorides at ambient temperatures, reducing to about 150mg/L at 60°C.

 

Stainless Steel 304 Heat Resistance

Good oxidation resistance in intermittent service to 870°C and in continuous service to 925°C. Continuous use of 304 in the 425-860°C range is not recommended if subsequent aqueous corrosion resistance is important. Grade 304L is more resistant to carbide precipitation and can be heated into the above temperature range.

316 wire>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

 

Stainless Steel Grade 316 is the standard molybdenum-bearing grade, second in importance to 304 amongst the austenitic stainless steels. The molybdenum gives 316 better overall corrosion resistant properties than Grade 304, particularly higher resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride environments. Stainless Steel 316 has excellent forming and welding characteristics. It is readily brake or roll formed into a variety of parts for applications in the industrial, architectural, and transportation fields. Stainless Steel Grade 316 also has outstanding welding characteristics. Post-weld annealing is not required when welding thin sections.

Stainless Steel Grade 316L, the low carbon version of Stainless Steel 316 and is immune from sensitisation (grain boundary carbide precipitation). Thus it is extensively used in heavy gauge welded components (over about 6mm). Stainless Steel Grade 316H, with its higher carbon content has application at elevated temperatures, as does stabilised Stainless Steel grade 316Ti.
The austenitic structure also gives these grades excellent toughness, even down to cryogenic temperatures.

 

Stainless Steel 316 Applications

Typical application include:
Laboratory benches & equipment.Coastal architectural panelling, railings & trimBoat fittingsHeat ExchangersWoven or welded screens for mining, quarrying & water filtrationThreaded fastenersSpringsChemical containers, including for transport.

Stainless Steel 316 Physical Properties

Density: 8,000 kg / m3
Elastic Modulus: 193 GPa
Specific Heat: 500 J/kg.K

 

Stainless Steel 316 Corrosion Resistance

Excellent in a range of atmospheric environments and many corrosive media - generally more resistant than 304. Subject to pitting and crevice corrosion in warm chloride environments, and to stress corrosion cracking above about 60°C. Considered resistant to potable water with up to about 1000mg/L chlorides at ambient temperatures, reducing to about 500mg/L at 60°C. Stainless Steel 316 is usually regarded as the standard "marine grade stainless steel", but it is not resistant to warm sea water. In many marine environments 316 does exhibit surface corrosion, usually visible as brown staining. This is particularly associated with crevices and rough surface finish.

 

Stainless Steel 316 Heat Resistance

Good oxidation resistance in intermittent service to 870°C and in continuous service to 925°C. Continuous use of 316 in the 425-860°C range is not recommended if subsequent aqueous corrosion resistance is important. Grade 316L is more resistant to carbide precipitation and can be used in the above temperature range. Grade 316H has higher strength at elevated temperatures and is sometimes used for structural and pressure-containing applications at temperatures above about 500°C.
