Classification Of Stainless Steel Wire

Stainless steel wire is a kind of silk products with different specifications and models made of stainless steel. The common stainless steel wires with good corrosion resistance and high cost performance are 304 and 316 stainless steel wires.

The types of stainless steels are generally divided into 2 series, 3 series, 4 series, 5 series and 6 series stainless steels according to austenite, ferrite, two-way stainless steels and martensitic stainless steels.

Stainless steel wire is a kind of stainless steel wire rod. There are many kinds of stainless steel wire. The types often used are stainless steel spring wire, stainless steel straight wire, stainless steel micro wire, stainless steel flat wire and stainless steel cut wire. Many kinds of metal wires are processed. A variety of surface treatments and different industries can produce metal wires of various specifications.

Process characteristics of stainless steel wire

The stress state of wire drawing is the three direction principal stress state of two direction compressive stress and one direction tensile stress. Compared with the principal stress state of three direction compressive stress, the drawn wire is easier to reach the plastic deformation state. The deformation state of drawing is the two direction compression deformation and the three direction main deformation state of tensile deformation, which is unfavorable to the plasticity of metal materials, and is easy to produce and expose surface defects. The pass deformation of wire drawing process is limited by its safety factor. If the pass deformation is small, there will be more drawing passes. Therefore, in the production of wire, multi pass continuous high-speed drawing is often used.

Stainless steel wire can be divided into many types not only in terms of product types, but also in terms of nickel plating wire materials, including 304.316.316L stainless steel wire 430 and other materials. Straightening of stainless steel wire, also known as straight wire, is the stainless steel straight wire. Stainless steel straight wire generally refers to the finished steel wire with different wire diameters after the wire rods are drawn. Some steel wires have a certain degree of bending, and need to be straightened using a professional wire straightening machine (also known as the wire straightening machine) to achieve the purpose of straightness, orderliness, beauty and convenient use. The metal wires that can be modulated include stainless steel wire, lead wire, copper wire, cold drawn wire and galvanized wire,
