This product is an industrial grade stainless steel round wire, made from 304 Industrial Grade Stainless Steel. It comes in a spool weighing 336 grams and has a diameter of 0.2mm, which is equivalent to 32 AWG (American Wire Gauge). Due to its corrosion resistance, 304 stainless steel is highly suitable for applications requiring longevity and resilience to environmental factors. Its non-magnetic properties and excellent formability also make it a popular choice for manufacturing and industrial applications. Its 0.2mm diameter provides a fine gauge, which is crucial in detailed work or when precision is required.
Jewelry making, crafting, wire forming, and other industries that benefit from the use of industrial grade stainless components can all be accomplished with this wire. The 304 stainless steel wire is a perfect choice if you’re looking for a corrosion-resistant wire that’s precision-minded. As a result of its versatility, it can be used effectively in a range of tasks and environments.
We provide a comprehensive range of sizes tailored to meet diverse needs. The wire diameters range from a delicate 0.08mm up to a more robust 0.87mm. These sizes correspond to American Wire Gauge (AWG) standards from 40AWG down to 20AWG. To assist with electrical applications, it’s noteworthy that our wire resistances vary from 252.17 Ωm at the finest size, decreasing to 1.2 Ωm as the wire diameter increases.
Specification of this product:
- Diameter – 0.2mm (200 Micron – 32 AWG)
- Spool Size – 336g (Approx. 1000 Metres)
These specifications not only testify to the wire’s adaptability but also its capacity to fulfill specific requirements in both craftsmanship and technology.

FAQs About This Wire
What Are The Main Benefits Of Using Industrial Grade Stainless Steel?
Industrial grade stainless steel offers a multitude of benefits that make it highly sought after in various applications and industries.
- Corrosion Resistance: One of the standout features of industrial grade stainless steel is its resistance to rust and corrosion. This is perfect in environments that are acidic, saline, or exposed to other corrosive agents.
- Strength and Durability: Industrial grade stainless steel maintains its strength at high temperatures, making it ideal for demanding environments and applications.
- Non-Magnetic Properties: Certain grades, including 304, are non-magnetic, which can be crucial in electronic and certain specialised applications.
- Hygienic and Easy to Clean: Its smooth surface makes it difficult for bacteria and germs to adhere, making it a preferred choice in food, pharmaceutical, and health industries.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Stainless steel has a sleek and modern appearance, making it suitable for architectural and design projects.
- Temperature Resistance: It can withstand both high temperatures, making it useful for industrial processes, and low temperatures, useful for cryogenic applications.
- Formability: Despite its strength, industrial grade stainless steel is also ductile and can be formed into various shapes without compromising its properties.
- Longevity: When maintained properly, stainless steel can have an exceptionally long lifespan, making it cost-effective in the long run.
- Environmentally Friendly: Stainless steel is 100% recyclable, and its longevity reduces the need for frequent replacements, making it an environmentally sustainable choice.
- Resistance to Stains and Discoloration: As the name suggests, stainless steel resists staining, ensuring that its appearance remains consistent over time.
Can I Use This Wire For Outdoor Projects?
Certainly. The 304 grade of stainless steel wire is a strong and durable metal known for its corrosion resistance. The material’s weather resistant properties make it an excellent choice for outdoor uses where materials are often exposed to weather elements such as rain, humidity, and temperature fluctuations. Its anti-rust properties ensure that 304 stainless steel wire remains unaffected by these conditions. This means it prevents degradation and maintains its structural integrity. When exposed outdoors, stainless steel retains its sleek appearance, resisting staining and discoloration. You can use this wire for garden sculptures, outdoor fixtures, or any other project exposed to the elements.
Is This Industrial Grade Stainless Wire Magnetic?
No, the 304 grade of industrial grade stainless steel wire is inherently non-magnetic. This is one of the distinct properties of this particular grade of stainless steel. The non-magnetic nature arises from its specific alloy composition, predominantly featuring chromium and nickel. This characteristic makes it especially suitable for applications where magnetic interference could be a concern, such as in certain electronic devices, sensors, or situations where magnetic fields need to be maintained without disruption. Furthermore, even when subjected to processes like cold working, the 304 grade largely retains its non-magnetic property, though there might be a minor increase in magnetism. In essence, if you’re seeking a reliable, non-magnetic material for your projects, the 304 industrial grade stainless steel wire is an optimal choice.
