Stainless steel is a versatile material common to industrial uses such as lockwire and spring wire, and also used extensively in the medical field due to its ability to meet demanding applications at relatively low cost. Wire can be made as round or flat ribbon and finished in a variety of tempers.

Stainless steel wire conforming to NASM20995 (corrosion resistant steel) is inventoried in common sizes and offered on one to five pound spools. Medical grade stainless alloys are kept in stock for fabrication as bare or film coated wires made to customer specifications.

Grades of Stainless Steel Wire

Applications

Our wire is used in a wide range of industries and applications, some of the key ones are construction, spring manufacture, wire forming, cold heading, medical instruments, automotive and architectural.

Specific types of wire supplied see below:

• Tying wire.
• Cold heading wire.
• Architectural wire.
• Welding wire.
• Shaped Wire.

Sizes

Our standard stock range of wire diameters varies from 0.1mm up to 8.00mm diameter, above that we also have stocks in cut lengths, we can supply up to 25mm dia in coil form.

Tensile

The wires are manufactured to suit our customers and industry standard applications so at one end we have very soft wires that are formable by hand with tensile strengths of around 500 - 600 N/mm2 at the other end of the scale we keep wires with a tensile strength above 1600 N/mm2 that are "rock hard".

Packaging

Our wire can be supplied in coils from 0.5 kgs up 800 kgs all in one complete coil dependent on diameter. Material can be supplied on carrier less cores, formers or spools. We can supply on heat treated pallets and export around the world.

Coatings and finish

Wires can be supplied and many finishes and coatings as required, from bright finishes to dull, suitable for electro polishing or with extra lubricants and coatings to suit the secondary processing.
