Description

0.8 x 0.1mm Ribbon 316L Stainless Steel Wire

The Crazy Wire Company are long established as Europe’s preferred suppliers of top quality 0.8 x 0.1mm SS316L wire. We have enormous stock levels at all times, as we use this wire to weave our marine grade woven mesh products.

The 0.8 x 0.1mm 316L medical/marine grade stainless steel ribbon wire, presented on a 232g spool, is a versatile and high-quality product designed for a variety of applications. The 316L stainless steel wire is renowned for its exceptional corrosion resistance and strength, making it the ideal choice for environments where durability and longevity are paramount. Intense work requires a delicate balance of flexibility and rigidity, and the specific dimensions of 0.8 x 0.1mm enable this to happen. Due to its medical-grade quality, it is suitable for manufacturing surgical instruments and medical devices where hygiene and strength are crucial.

Because of its ability to withstand harsh saltwater environments, this wire is highly valued in the marine industry for boat rigging and repairs. Jewelry makers also use the product, as it offers a reliable material for crafting intricate designs. The wire’s thin profile also makes it suitable for electronic applications, such as precision components that require conductive, yet durable materials. Both hobbyists and professionals will find the 232g spool suitable for a wide range of projects.

Specification of this product:

• Diameter – 0.8 x 0.1mm 
• Spool Size – 232g (Approx. 300 Metres)

We also offer the SS316L grade as flat wire too if required.

Is Stainless Steel 316L 0.8 x 0.1mm Wire Magnetic?

Stainless steel 316L is known for having reduced magnetic properties when compared to other types of stainless steel. This is due to the composition, which contains a high percentage of nickel and molybdenum. A decrease in magnetic permeability results from these elements altering the crystalline structure of the material.

In terms of the specific size of 0.8 x 0.1mm, these properties remain consistent. The 316L stainless steel wire would have minimal magnetic properties since it is made of stainless steel. The cold working or welding processes used in its manufacture may cause 316L stainless steel to exhibit a very slight magnetic response, despite the steel not being highly magnetic. There is typically a very weak response to this, and it is often considered negligible in most applications.

How Does SS316L 0.8 x 0.1mm Wire Perform In Outdoor Conditions?

1. Corrosion Resistance: SS316L has excellent resistance to corrosion, particularly against chlorides and other industrial solvents. This is crucial for outdoor applications where the material may be exposed to salt (in coastal areas) or to chemicals.
2. Weather Resistance: Due to its robust composition, 316L stainless steel withstands various weather conditions like rain, humidity, and exposure to UV rays without significant degradation.
3. Strength and Durability: Despite its thin dimensions, 0.8 x 0.1mm 316L wire maintains high strength and durability. It can withstand physical stresses like wind or mechanical pressure, which is essential for structural applications.
4. Temperature Tolerance: SS316L can operate effectively in a wide range of temperatures, making it suitable for areas with varying climate conditions.
5. Minimal Maintenance: One of the key advantages of 316L stainless steel in outdoor settings is its low maintenance requirement. It does not require frequent cleaning or special coatings to maintain its properties.
6. Aesthetic Appeal: 316L retains its appearance over time, resisting staining and discoloration even when exposed to the outdoors, which is advantageous for visible installations.
