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
