Standard Stainless Steel Wire (Grade 304) | General construction, automotive parts | Material: 304 stainless steel (ASTM A240) Tolerance: ±1% (ISO 3801) Diameter: 0.2–12mm ▲ Surface: Bright Annealed (BA) | Cost-effective, moderate corrosion resistance, wide availability. | Limited resistance to harsh chemicals or marine environments. |
High-Corrosion Stainless Steel (Grade 316L) | Marine, chemical processing, medical devices | Material: 316L stainless steel (ASTM A167) Tolerance: ±1% (ISO 3801) Diameter: 0.2–30mm ▲▲ Surface: BA | Superior corrosion resistance, durable in aggressive environments. | Higher cost, less common in standard applications. |
Galvanized Steel Wire | Fencing, agriculture, outdoor structures | Zinc coating (ASTM A153) Diameter: 0.5–20mm ▲ Tolerance: ±2% (ISO 3801) | Affordable, weather-resistant, widely used in outdoor applications. | Lower corrosion resistance than stainless steel over time. |
Electro-Galvanized Steel Wire | Automotive, electronics, household goods | Electroplated zinc (ASTM A93) Smooth surface (BA) Diameter: 0.5–10mm ▲ | Better appearance and corrosion resistance than hot-dip galvanized. | Thinner coating reduces durability in extreme conditions. |
Carbon Steel Wire | Reinforcement in concrete, general construction | Carbon content: 0.1–0.25% (ASTM A109) Tolerance: ±2% (ISO 3801) Diameter: 0.5–50mm ▲▲ | Extremely cost-effective, high tensile strength. | Prone to rust without coating; requires frequent maintenance. |
Pre-Coated Steel Wire (PVC/Polyester) | Signage, outdoor advertising, corrosion-sensitive uses | Pre-coated with PVC/polyester (ASTM A755) Diameter: 0.5–10mm ▲ Color options available | Weather-resistant coating, customizable colors, long lifespan outdoors. | Coating may degrade over time in extreme UV or chemical exposure. |
