Product Specification

6mm 304 Stainless Steel EPQ Wire for Easy Forming

Product Introduction

TOPONE 6mm EPQ stainless steel wire is designed for wire forming applications such as kitchen racks, baskets, bathroom accessories and other stainless steel hardware components.

The typical product specification is 6mm, with a broader available diameter range of 0.15–12 mm for different forming requirements.

The wire can be supplied in stainless steel grades such as 304, 316, 316L and other selected grades according to the required application. Bright surface and soap-coated surface options can be selected according to the forming process and finished-product requirements.

For manufacturers producing wire-formed kitchen and bathroom accessories, material grade, wire diameter, surface condition and mechanical properties should be matched with the forming equipment and final product design.

Product Specifications

Final grade, mechanical properties, dimensional tolerance and surface requirements should be confirmed according to the customer's drawing and application.

Why EPQ Stainless Steel Wire Is Used for Wire Forming

EPQ wire is commonly selected for applications where the wire needs to be formed into a defined shape during manufacturing.

For kitchen and bathroom hardware, the wire may need to undergo bending, forming, cutting or other downstream processes. Therefore, the appropriate combination of material grade, diameter, surface condition and mechanical properties is important.

For example, 304 stainless steel can be considered for general kitchen and bathroom hardware where its corrosion resistance and forming characteristics meet the application requirements.

Surface Options

Bright Surface

The bright surface provides a clean metallic appearance and is suitable for visible wire-formed products such as kitchen racks, baskets and bathroom accessories.

Soap-Coated Surface

Soap-coated wire can be selected when the surface condition needs to match a specific wire forming or drawing process.

The appropriate surface should be confirmed according to the customer's forming equipment, tooling and final product requirements.

Applications

Kitchen Wire Products

6mm stainless steel EPQ wire can be used for manufacturing:

• Kitchen racks

• Kitchen baskets

• Dish racks

• Storage baskets

• Wire shelves

• Kitchen hardware components

Bathroom Accessories

The wire can also be used for wire-formed bathroom products, including:

• Bathroom racks

• Shower storage racks

• Towel racks

• Storage baskets

• Bathroom hardware components

General Wire Forming

The 0.15–12 mm diameter range allows manufacturers to select different wire sizes for different forming geometries, load requirements and finished-product dimensions.

Typical processes include:

• Bending

• Cutting

• Wire forming

• Coiling

• Welding and assembly

Material Selection

304 Stainless Steel

304 stainless steel is commonly used for kitchen and bathroom wire products where general corrosion resistance, forming performance and appearance are required.

316 / 316L Stainless Steel

316 and 316L can be considered for applications requiring higher corrosion resistance, particularly where the finished product may be exposed to moisture, salts or more demanding environments.

The final grade should be selected according to the actual service environment and product requirements.

Product Advantages

0.15–12 mm Diameter Availability

The available diameter range covers fine wire through larger forming-wire applications. The typical specification for this product is 6mm.

Bright Surface for Visible Hardware

The bright surface is suitable for finished wire products where surface appearance is part of the product requirement.

Multiple Grade Options

304, 316, 316L and other stainless steel grades can be selected according to corrosion environment, forming requirements and final application.

Suitable for Wire Forming

The product is designed for applications involving bending and forming. Final mechanical properties should be matched with the customer's forming process and tooling.

Customizable Supply

Customers can specify:

• Stainless steel grade

• Wire diameter

• Surface condition

• Tensile strength

• Dimensional tolerance

• Coil weight

• Packaging

• Applicable standard

Manufacturing & Quality Control

For EPQ wire, dimensional accuracy and surface condition are important because the wire will normally undergo additional forming or assembly after delivery.

TOPONE's production control can focus on the following parameters:

Raw Material

The stainless steel grade is selected according to the agreed material specification.

Cold Drawing

Wire drawing is used to process the wire to the required diameter and surface condition.

Surface Processing

Bright or soap-coated surface options can be provided according to the customer's requirements.

Quality Inspection

The inspection process can include:

• Wire diameter inspection

• Dimensional tolerance inspection

• Surface inspection

• Chemical composition verification

• Mechanical property testing

• Packaging inspection

Where required, customers can confirm the applicable standard and inspection requirements before production.

How to Choose Stainless Steel EPQ Wire

1. Confirm the Application

Identify whether the wire will be used for a kitchen rack, basket, bathroom accessory or another wire-formed product.

2. Select the Stainless Steel Grade

Choose the grade according to the required corrosion resistance, forming process and service environment.

3. Confirm Wire Diameter

The diameter should be selected according to the finished-product design, forming equipment and required mechanical performance.

This product is available from 0.15–12 mm, with 6mm as the typical specification represented by this product page.

4. Select the Surface

Bright or soap-coated surface should be selected according to the forming process and final appearance.

5. Confirm Mechanical Requirements

If the customer has a defined tensile-strength or hardness requirement, it should be specified together with the material grade and diameter.
