Stainless Steel > Wire > 316
316 stainless steel has a high resistance to many chemical corrodents and marine atmospheres. 316 stainless steels are more resistant to general corrosion and pitting/crevices than conventional austenitic stainless steels. 316/316L stainless steels also oᄈӴer higher creep, stress-to-rupture and tensile strength at elevated temperatures. 316 are also well suited for fabricated or formed applications. ᐈ࠰chining characteristics and higher strength than either
2014 and 2017. Though cold formability is considered fair, it is one of the most popular alloys for cold heading and thread
rolling applications as a result of the suᐈٰrior grain structure that can be obtained. Corrosion resistance and anodizeablilty are
only fair. It is also the basic alloy for cold finished square and rectangular bar. Again, this is because of its high strength and
good machinability, which are essential
