Stainless Steel Wire

Fayette Custom Wire Products forms stainless steel wire using drawing and cold-rolling processes to produce round, flat, hexagonal, square, triangular profiles, and other complex shapes to meet challenging customer requirements.

We work with martensitic, ferritic, and austenitic stainless steel grades, and use our materials knowledge and processing expertise to maintain each forming process within tight parameters.

As a turnkey supplier, Fayette Custom Wire Products understands the importance of hitting production and delivery targets, which is why we offer Just-in-Time (JIT) delivery/tailored stocking programs. By partnering with us, we’ll ensure you always have access to the products you need, when you need them. To further help you plan your orders effectively, we also offer a customer inventory portal with 24/7 access to your finished goods inventory.

Benefits of Stainless Steel Wire

Though often chosen for its corrosion resistance, stainless steel wire has many other useful properties, including high tensile strength, high hardness, elevated toughness, and a bright, reflective appearance. Because of these properties, stainless steel wire is ideal for a variety of industrial applications, including medical equipment, exposed architectural elements, and kitchenware.

Stainless steel work hardens when it’s drawn, which raises its tensile strength significantly and creates a wire that’s far stronger than a low-carbon wire of the same thickness. However, stainless steel wire retains good ductility after undergoing extensive working, so it can still be formed into the shapes needed.

Stainless steel wire contains high levels of chromium and, for most grades, significant amounts of nickel, giving it good corrosion resistance when used in wet or humid conditions or when exposed to acids, alkalis, oils, and grease. Please note that stainless steel alloys don’t resist chemicals and fluids to the same level. If this is a priority, discuss the application with us first.

Grades

Please inquire directly for all other grades or alloys

Austenitic (300 Series)

Includes 304 (General Purpose), 304L, 310, 316, 316L, 321; these grades are non-magnetic, provide excellent corrosion resistance, are not heat-treatable for hardening, and are used in applications ranging from kitchen equipment to automotive trim to surgical implants.

Ferritic (400 Series)

Includes 409, 430 (most common), 439, 441, and 446; these grades are magnetic, feature lower nickel content, aren’t hardenable by heat treatment, are used primarily in automotive applications, and for some cookware.

Martensitic (400 Series)

Includes 410 (General Purpose), 416, 420, 431, 440, and 17-4 PH; these grades are magnetic, hardenable by heat treatment, and have lower corrosion resistance than austenitic grades. Commonly used for turbine blades, fasteners, bearings, and propeller shafts.
