Technical Specifications & Material Superiority
310 stainless steel wire is engineered for environments where ordinary alloys fail. Its unique composition and processing ensure unmatched reliability in high-heat scenarios. Below are its core specifications:
Category | Details |
---|---|
Material Composition | 25% Chromium, 20% Nickel, 1.5% Manganese, 0.08% Carbon (ASTM A580/ASTM A555 compliant) |
Standard Diameters | 0.2mm – 12mm (Custom sizes available for stainless steel wire projects) |
Hardness Range | 200-250 HV (Maintains structural integrity up to 2100°F / 1150°C) |
Surface Treatments | Bright Annealed, Pickled, Oxidized, or Custom Coatings |
Tensile Strength | 650-850 MPa (Cold-drawn variants exceed 1000 MPa for heavy-duty applications) |
Compared to 304/316 stainless steels, 310 stainless steel wire offers 30% higher oxidation resistance and 15% improved creep resistance at sustained high temperatures. Its nickel-chromium matrix forms a stable oxide layer, preventing scaling even in cyclic heating-cooling environments.
Industrial Applications & Performance Advantages
310 stainless steel wire is indispensable across industries where thermal stability and corrosion resistance are non-negotiable. Its versatility extends to both fabrication and welding workflows, with stainless steel mig wire variants enabling seamless integration into existing systems.
Attribute | 310 Stainless Steel Wire Benefits |
---|---|
Heat Resistance | Withstands continuous operation at 2100°F (1150°C) with minimal deformation |
Weldability | Stainless steel mig wire variants (ER310) ensure crack-free joints in thermal processing equipment |
Corrosion Immunity | Resists sulfidation, carburization, and chloride stress corrosion in harsh atmospheres |
Formability | Cold-drawn stainless steel wire retains ductility for bending, weaving, and machining |
