316l Medical/Marine Grade Stainless Steel Round Wire | 0.37mm (27 AWG) 327g Spool

Description

0.37mm 316L Stainless Steel Wire

The Crazy Wire Company are long established as Europe’s preferred suppliers of top quality 0.37mm SS316L wire. We have enormous stock levels at all times, as we use this wire to weave our marine grade woven mesh products.

The 0.37mm 316L Medical/Marine Grade Stainless Steel Round Wire is a versatile and high-quality product designed for a variety of applications. Due to its corrosion resistance and durability, 316L stainless steel wire is an ideal choice for environments exposed to moisture, saltwater, or chemicals. The wire’s 0.37mm diameter (27 AWG) offers the perfect balance of flexibility and strength, making it ideal for intricate work requiring precision. With a 327g weight per spool, it offers a generous amount of material for extended use.

Stainless steel wire, in particular, is particularly useful for medical applications, since it is biocompatible and therefore safe for use in medical devices and implants. As a result of its corrosion resistance and ability to withstand sterilisation processes without degrading, it can be found in medical environments for a long time without deterioration. A wire that is resistant to saltwater corrosion makes it an excellent choice for rigging, tying, and securing marine equipment and components.

Specification of this product:

• Diameter – 0.37mm (370 Micron – 27 AWG)
• Spool Size – 327g (Approx. 280 Metres)

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

How Do I Store SS316L 0.37mm Wire To Prevent Damage?

1. Keep it Dry: Store the wire in a dry environment to prevent any potential corrosion. Even though SS316L is corrosion-resistant, prolonged exposure to moisture can eventually affect its quality.
2. Avoid Direct Sunlight: Store the wire away from direct sunlight as continuous exposure can affect the wire’s surface and its properties over time.
3. Controlled Temperature: Ideally, the wire should be stored in a temperature-controlled environment. Extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, can affect the wire’s structural integrity.
4. Use Original Packaging: If possible, keep the wire in its original packaging. This packaging is designed to protect the wire from environmental factors.
5. Prevent Physical Damage: Store the spool in a way that it doesn’t get crushed or bent. Physical deformations can compromise the quality of the wire.
6. Avoid Chemical Exposure: Store the wire away from chemicals or environments where it might be exposed to harmful substances that could react with stainless steel.
7. Dust-Free Environment: A clean, dust-free storage area helps in maintaining the wire’s cleanliness and prevents any particles from adhering to the wire, which could be problematic in certain precise applications like medical device manufacturing.
8. Properly Secure the End: Ensure the end of the wire is properly secured after use. This prevents the wire from unwinding and becoming tangled, which can cause kinks or bends in the wire.

Can SS316L 0.37mm Wire Be Used For Outdoor Applications?

Yes, SS316L 0.37mm wire is well-suited for outdoor applications. 316L stainless steel is renowned for its excellent corrosion resistance, particularly against chlorides and other industrial solvents. This makes it ideal for environments where harsh weather conditions, moisture, and saltwater are present. It withstands physical stresses often encountered in outdoor settings thanks to its 0.37mm thickness, which offers a good balance between flexibility and strength. A wire that is resistant to temperature variations is also durable and stable in a variety of climates because of its resistance to temperature variations. For marine rigging, external architectural elements, outdoor art installations, and even gardening for plant support or as part of trellis systems, SS316L 0.37mm wire is an excellent choice. Its durability and minimal maintenance requirements make it a suitable choice for outdoor applications, providing a long-lasting solution.
