Description

0.43mm 316L Stainless Steel Wire

The Crazy Wire Company are long established as Europe’s preferred suppliers of top quality 0.43mm SS316L wire. We have enormous stock levels at all times, as we use this wire to weave our marine grade woven mesh products.

The 0.43mm 316L medical/marine grade stainless steel round wire is a versatile and high-quality product catering to various industrial and commercial needs. This steel wire is made from 316L stainless steel, which is known for its superior corrosion resistance and durability. It is ideal for environments that are exposed to chemicals, saline solutions, or corrosive elements. Its diameter of 0.43mm (29 AWG) makes it ideal for intricate applications that require precision, balancing flexibility and strength. It is supplied on a 305g spool, so you can work continuously or on large projects without running out of wire.

Because of its medical-grade quality, it is well-suited to medical devices and surgical tools that require strength as well as non-reactivity. In the marine industry, this wire is ideal for crafting and repairing parts that are subject to saltwater and harsh weather conditions, such as boat fittings and rigging equipment. The material’s high temperature resistance also makes it useful in manufacturing processes, particularly in the automotive and aerospace industries, where materials must withstand extreme temperatures.

Specification of this product:

  • Diameter – 0.43mm (430 Micron – 26 AWG)
  • Spool Size – 305g (Approx. 200 Metres)

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

FAQs About This Wire

How Does The SS316L 0.43mm Wire Resist Corrosion?

The corrosion-resistant properties of SS316L 0.43mm wire are due to its unique composition and 316L grade stainless steel properties. Due to its higher chromium content and molybdenum addition, this grade of stainless steel is known for its excellent corrosion resistance. Chromium forms chromium oxide on the surface of steel, which protects it from various corrosive substances. This resistance is enhanced by the presence of molybdenum, especially against chloride ions that are prevalent in marine environments.

A lower carbon content in 316L stainless steel reduces susceptibility to intergranular corrosion, which can occur after welding or exposure to high temperatures. The lower carbon content also ensures the corrosion-resistant coating stays intact.

Thus, SS316L 0.43mm wire is highly resistant to corrosive environments, such as saltwater, chlorides, sulfuric acid, bromides, and organic acids. This makes it ideal for industrial, chemical, and marine applications.

Would The SS316L 0.43mm Wire Perform In Acidic Environments?

Yes, the SS316L 0.43mm wire is designed to perform well in acidic environments. The 316L grade stainless steel, used in manufacturing this wire, is known for its excellent resistance to a wide range of acids. This resistance is primarily due to its composition, which includes a significant amount of chromium, nickel, and molybdenum.

The chromium in the alloy forms a passive layer of chromium oxide on the surface of the steel. This acts as a barrier against corrosive substances, including acids. The molybdenum in 316L stainless steel enhances this resistance, particularly in more challenging environments like those containing sulfuric, hydrochloric, acetic, or phosphoric acids. While it is highly resistant, the level of resistance does depend on the concentration and temperature of the acid, as well as the specific type of acid involved.

It’s important to note, however, that while 316L stainless steel performs well in many acidic environments, it may not be suitable for extremely high concentrations or temperatures of certain acids. In such cases, more specialised materials might be required. For typical applications involving exposure to acidic substances, the SS316L 0.43mm wire should provide reliable performance and longevity.
