    After drawing to a speficied size, it's annealed and pickled. Appeared in gray and has matt finish.

  • Bright Drawn

    Bright drawn wire has bright surface that obtained by cold drawing. It's cleaned to have brilliant surface.

  • Cold Drawn

    Cold drawn wire can be cleaned upon request. It has semi-matt surface. It has been lightly drawn in soap.

  • Temper Drawn

    Temper drawn wire can have either cold drawn or bright drawn finish. It is drawn in oil or soap to achieve certain tensile strength.

    Types/Grades Group Family Description
    Type 302 series Austenic Type 302 series is the most widely used heat resisting and chromium nickel stainless steel.
    Type 304 series Austenic Type 304 series is chromium nickel stainless steel. Type 304 steel is commonly used in sanitary applications.
    Type 316 Austenic Type 316 has higher resistance to corrosion than other steel types. It is usually specified for industrial equipments that handle the corrosive process chemicals used to produce photographic chemicals, bleaches, and rubber.
    Type 410 series Martensitic Type 410 series is always magnetic, and it can be hardened by thermal treatment to a wide range of mechanical properties. Type 410 can be annealed soft for cold drawing and forming. It is the basic type of Martensitic family.
    Type 430 Ferritic Type 430 has excellent resistance to atmospheric corrosion and good ductility. Its scaling resistance is higher than 302.

    Surface

    Classified By Surface Finish

    Regardless of the intentional use, surface finish is an important aspect in stainless steel wire specification. When the appearance of the applications is important, surface finish is a design element and must be clearly specified. In non-decorative applications, the surface finish may have implications for maintenance and must be carefully chosen.

    Bright Finish
    The surface of bright finish wire is bright, smooth and beautiful. It is done by the processing of annealing. It has excellent flexibility and softness.
    Oxalate Coated
    The oxalate coated on the wire is a lubricant for subsequent processing. Oxalate is applied in a dipping and baking tank.
    PC Coated
    PC coated wire has water soluble coatings applied on surface by dipping and baking. The coatings act as a lubricant for later processing.

    Processing Status

    Classified By Condition

    The end usage of the wire dictates the preferred hardness. Hardness of stainless steel wire varies from very soft to very hard (spring temper), it can be accomplished with cold working to increase the strength. A combination of cold working and annealing can achieve a specific strength (e.g., a bendable tie wire would be annealed to make it softer).

    Soft Annealed Wire
    Soft annealed wire are drawn to final size and heated to remove the effects of cold working. It has the softest condition for extreme cold heading.
    Skin Passed Wire
    Skin passed wire also refers to half-hard wire or lightly-drawn wire. It's processed to produce a strength in the midway between soft wire and hard wire.
    Hard Wire
    Hard wire is also know as hard-drawn wire. These wires have been cold drawn to final size to approach the maximum attainable strength.
