0.15–12mm Customized Stainless Steel Annealed Wire with Smooth Surface for

Product Specification

0.15–12mm Stainless Steel Annealed Wire for Kitchenware

Stainless steel annealed wire is produced through an annealing process to obtain a softer and more workable wire condition for subsequent processing. This product is available in diameters from 0.15 mm to 12 mm and can be supplied according to the required material grade, diameter, surface condition, length and mechanical properties.

The wire is available with a smooth surface and can be supplied in coil, spool or drum packaging according to production and handling requirements.

For kitchenware and household wire products, annealed stainless steel wire can be used as a material for subsequent bending, forming, cutting, weaving or fabrication processes. The appropriate material grade and mechanical condition should be selected according to the finished product design and processing method.

Customers can provide the required material grade, wire diameter, tensile strength, elongation, surface condition, length and application for technical evaluation before production.

Product Specifications

Note: Final material grade, diameter tolerance, tensile strength, elongation and surface requirements should be confirmed according to the customer's technical specification.

What Is Stainless Steel Annealed Wire?

Annealing Process and Wire Condition

Annealing is a heat-treatment process used to change the condition of stainless steel wire. The annealed condition is generally selected when the wire needs to undergo subsequent forming or fabrication processes.

The final properties of annealed wire depend on factors such as:

• Stainless steel grade
• Wire diameter
• Annealing process
• Heat-treatment conditions
• Surface treatment
• Drawing history
• Required mechanical properties

For this reason, annealed wire should be selected according to the actual processing requirements rather than simply by material grade.

Material Selection

304 Stainless Steel Annealed Wire

304 stainless steel is a commonly used austenitic stainless steel grade for kitchenware, household products and general wire-forming applications.

It can be considered for products where the material specification, surface condition and operating environment are compatible with 304 stainless steel.

316 Stainless Steel Annealed Wire

316 stainless steel can be considered for applications where the working environment requires a different corrosion-resistance level from 304.

Material selection should take into account exposure to moisture, salts, chemicals and other environmental conditions.

Other Stainless Steel Grades

Depending on the application, stainless steel annealed wire can also be supplied in other grades according to customer requirements and applicable standards.

The final grade should be confirmed based on the product design and required technical specification.

0.15–12mm Diameter Range

The available diameter range is 0.15–12 mm, covering fine wire through larger-diameter stainless steel wire requirements.

Different diameters can be selected according to the customer's:

• Finished product dimensions
• Forming method
• Required flexibility
• Mechanical requirements
• Cutting process
• Assembly method
• Production equipment

The appropriate diameter and tolerance should be confirmed according to the finished product drawing or technical specification.

Smooth Surface

Surface Condition for Subsequent Processing

The smooth surface is suitable for applications where the wire will undergo further handling, forming or fabrication.

Depending on the final application, surface requirements may include:

• Surface appearance
• Surface cleanliness
• Drawing condition
• Lubrication requirements
• Subsequent coating
• Forming requirements

Customers should specify the required surface condition before production, especially when the wire will be used in automated forming or other downstream processes.

Applications

Kitchenware Manufacturing

Stainless steel annealed wire can be used as a raw material for various kitchenware components and wire-formed products.

Typical applications include:

• Kitchen baskets
• Storage baskets
• Dish racks
• Kitchen racks
• Utensil holders
• Wire holders
• Household kitchen accessories

The wire diameter, material grade and surface condition should be selected according to the finished product requirements.

Household Wire Products

Annealed stainless steel wire can also be processed into various household wire products where a softer wire condition is required for forming or fabrication.

Applications may include:

• Wire baskets
• Storage components
• Hangers
• Holders
• Wire frames
• Household accessories

Wire Forming

The annealed condition can be considered when the wire needs to undergo subsequent bending, forming or fabrication.

The required wire condition should be matched with the customer's forming equipment and production process.

Wire Weaving and Fabrication

Depending on the diameter and material specification, annealed stainless steel wire can also be considered for selected weaving, mesh and fabrication applications.

The final wire specification should be determined according to the required mesh structure, forming method and working environment.

Product Advantages

Customized Specifications

Material grade, diameter, length, mechanical properties, surface condition, coil size and packaging can be customized according to customer specifications.

Technical Selection Guide

How to Select Annealed Stainless Steel Wire?

When selecting annealed stainless steel wire, buyers should evaluate the complete specification rather than focusing only on diameter.

This selection method helps match the wire specification with the actual downstream manufacturing process.

Manufacturing Process

Stainless Steel Annealed Wire Production

The production process can include:

Raw Material → Wire Drawing → Annealing → Surface Treatment → Diameter Inspection → Mechanical Testing → Coiling → Final Inspection → Packaging

Depending on the required product specification, the manufacturing process may be adjusted according to the material grade, wire diameter and mechanical requirements.

Relevant inspection items can include:

• Material grade
• Wire diameter
• Diameter tolerance
• Tensile strength
• Elongation
• Surface condition
• Coil weight
• Packaging condition

Quality Control

Dimensional Inspection

Wire diameter and tolerance can be inspected according to the agreed product specification.

Dimensional control is particularly important when the wire will be used in subsequent forming, weaving or automated processing.

Mechanical Property Inspection

Tensile strength and elongation can be tested according to the agreed technical specification or applicable standard.

The required mechanical properties should be defined according to the material grade, diameter and final application.

Surface Inspection

The wire surface can be checked according to the specified smooth-surface requirement.

Where the wire will undergo further forming or coating, surface requirements should be confirmed before production.

OEM and Custom Wire Supply

For customized stainless steel annealed wire, customers can provide a drawing, sample or technical specification.

The following information is recommended:

For non-standard requirements, the final technical specification should be confirmed before production.
