Stainless Steel Wire
Description
Stainless steel wire is a versatile material with several industrial uses such as lock wire and spring wire. It is also used extensively in the medical field due to its ability to meet demanding applications at a relatively low cost.
Some common stainless steel wire applications include tie wire, pins, lashing, forming wire, filters, gaskets, elevators, safety wire, shaped and flat wire, conveyors, jewelry, springs, brush welding, electrical, wire line, craft wire, and more!
Spring Wire
All Stainless spring wires are manufactured to a high and consistent quality including;
Tensile strength-offering consistent spring forming capabilities.
Surface finish and soap coating – to lubricate and aid the forming of the springs when running at high speeds through spring forming machines providing good spring coiling characteristics.
Cast & helix- offering maximum product performance.
The spring properties of stainless spring wires are obtained by precision cold drawing meaning the tensile strength of the spring wires are maintained at operating temperatures up to 250°C with stainless steel springs able to be used in reduced stress levels up to 450°C.
Household equipment, switches & relays, electrical systems.
Hardware: sprinklers components, switches, hose clamps.

Gas Shielded Molten Inert Arc Welding Wire—- GMAW(MIG)
Submerged Arc Welding Wire—–SAW
Flux Cored Arc Welding Wire
Flux cored welding wire provides filler metal for welding stainless steel and other compatible metals. The wire’s flux core helps deoxidize the workpiece material, stabilize the welding arc, reduce spatter, increase the mechanical properties of the wire alloy, and/or protect the weld pool from contaminants during welding. This wire comes on a coil or spool and is fed through a compatible gun in FCAW (flux-core arc welding) tasks.
Gas Shielded Tungsten Inert Arc Welding Wire-
TIG Welding Tungsten inert gas welding is a precise and versatile technique ideal for welding thin materials, such as those used in the aerospace and medical industries. TIG welding uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to create a small, focused arc that melts the metal and forms the weld.This technique offers precise control over the heat input, which can help to prevent warping or distortion of the material.
Gas Shielded Molten Inert Arc Welding Wire
MIG Welding Metal inert gas welding is a popular technique for welding thicker materials, such as those used in the automotive and construction industries. MIG welding uses a consumable wire electrode fed through a gun and melted to form the weld.
Submerged Arc Welding Wire
Submerged welding process is used for welding of low alloy steels. It is also used for stainless steels and nickel based alloys. SAW can also be used for surfacing applications such as wear-facing, corrosion overlay of steels, etc.

Free-Machining Wire
Stainless steel wire with high machinability for improved productivity in machining operations is generally referred to as “Free-machining” stainless steel wire.
Such high machinability stainless steel wire results from special and controlled additions in the stainless steel, particularly Sulphur.
Smaller diameter (< 0.30”) free machining stainless steel wire, in cold drawn condition, is often called “Escomatic free-machining” stainless steel wire, in reference to the “Escomatic” modern machines used for their machining into parts. Specific free-machining stainless steel grades are Austenitic 303, Ferritic 430F and Martensitic 416.
Free-machining stainless steel wire provides an excellent machinability, in either of the following conditions :
Cold drawn
Annealed
This type of wire provides a good combination of corrosion resistance and improved machinability due to selective & controlled additions.
Thus, such so-called “ free-machining “ stainless steel wires are used in all machining operations using high productivity modern multi-tool CNC equipments for a large array of machined parts such as
