Product Specification

0.15–12mm Stainless Steel Annealed Wire for Building and Forming

Product Introduction

Stainless Steel Annealed Wire is a heat-treated stainless steel wire supplied in a soft condition for applications requiring suitable flexibility and workability during bending, forming, tying, and fabrication.

TOPONE Wire supplies stainless steel annealed wire in 0.15–12mm diameters, with different stainless steel grades and surface conditions available according to application requirements.

Available grades include 201, 302, 304, 316, and 316L, with bright and soap-coated surface options. The wire can be supplied according to ASTM, JIS, EN, DIN, GB and other applicable standards.

For building, hardware manufacturing, and industrial fabrication, material grade, wire diameter, mechanical condition, surface, and forming requirements should be considered together when selecting the wire.

Product Parameters

Mechanical Condition

Soft Annealed Wire for Forming

Annealing changes the mechanical condition of stainless steel wire and provides a softer, more workable material condition for selected manufacturing processes.

The annealed condition can be considered when the wire needs to undergo:

• Bending

• Forming

• Tying

• Coiling

• Shaping

• General wire fabrication

The required mechanical properties should be confirmed according to the selected stainless steel grade, wire diameter, applicable standard, and production process.

Stainless Steel Grade Selection

201 Stainless Steel

201 stainless steel can be considered for general applications where the required material characteristics and working environment are compatible with the grade.

302 Stainless Steel

302 stainless steel is an austenitic grade commonly used in stainless steel wire applications where forming and mechanical requirements need to be balanced.

304 Stainless Steel

304 stainless steel is widely used for general industrial and fabricated wire applications where corrosion resistance and forming characteristics are required.

316 / 316L Stainless Steel

316 and 316L contain molybdenum and can be considered for applications requiring higher resistance to certain corrosive environments compared with standard 304.

Final grade selection should consider moisture, chemicals, chlorides, operating conditions, and the actual service environment.

Surface Options

Bright Surface

Bright stainless steel wire provides a clean metallic appearance and can be selected when surface appearance or a bright finished condition is required.

Soap-Coated Surface

Soap-coated wire can be considered for selected forming and fabrication processes where the surface condition is compatible with downstream processing.

The required surface should be confirmed together with the material grade, diameter, and manufacturing process.

Applications

Building and Construction

Stainless steel annealed wire can be used in selected building and construction-related fabrication applications where a stainless steel material and workable wire condition are required.

The appropriate grade and diameter should be selected according to the exposure environment, forming process, and mechanical requirements.

Hardware Manufacturing

Annealed stainless steel wire can be processed into various hardware components requiring bending, shaping, tying, or forming.

Wire Forming

The soft annealed condition is suitable for selected wire-forming processes.

Typical products may include:

• Hooks

• Clips

• Brackets

• Loops

• Holders

• Formed wire components

Actual forming suitability depends on wire diameter, component geometry, tooling, and required mechanical properties.

Industrial Fabrication

The 0.15–12mm diameter range provides options for fine-wire and larger-diameter fabrication requirements.

Material grade and mechanical condition should be selected according to the production process and final application.

Product Advantages

0.15–12mm Diameter Range

The available 0.15–12mm range covers different wire sizes for building components, hardware, wire forming, and industrial fabrication.

Diameter selection should consider finished component dimensions, forming equipment, and required mechanical properties.

Soft Annealed Condition

The annealed condition provides a workable material condition for applications involving bending, forming, tying, and other fabrication processes.

Multiple Stainless Steel Grades

Grades including 201, 302, 304, 316, and 316L are available according to application and material requirements.

This allows buyers to select a grade according to corrosion exposure, forming requirements, and working environment.

Bright or Soap-Coated Surface

Bright and soap-coated surface conditions can be selected according to the customer's processing method and final product requirements.

Customized Packaging

The wire can be supplied in coil or spool form, with packaging arranged according to wire diameter, handling requirements, transportation, and production equipment.

How to Choose Stainless Steel Annealed Wire

1. Confirm the Stainless Steel Grade

Select the grade according to corrosion exposure, forming requirements, working environment, and applicable material specification.

2. Select the Wire Diameter

Choose a suitable diameter within the 0.15–12mm range according to:

• Finished component size

• Forming method

• Bending requirements

• Production equipment

• Required mechanical properties

3. Confirm the Annealed Condition

Annealed wire should be selected when the production process requires a softer and workable wire condition.

If a specific tensile strength or elongation is required, these parameters should be confirmed before production.

4. Select the Surface

Choose bright or soap-coated surface according to the downstream manufacturing process and final application.

5. Confirm the Applicable Standard

Depending on the project, the wire can be specified according to ASTM, JIS, EN, DIN, GB or other applicable standards.

The exact standard and technical requirements should be confirmed before production.

Technical Information for B2B Purchasing

For technical purchasing, stainless steel annealed wire should be evaluated using measurable specifications rather than general performance claims.

Buyers can confirm:

• Stainless steel grade

• Wire diameter

• Diameter tolerance

• Annealed condition

• Tensile strength

• Elongation

• Surface condition

• Applicable standard

• Coil or spool specification

• Packaging requirements

• Quantity

Providing these parameters helps match the wire specification with the customer's forming equipment and final application.
