Product Description

Stainless Steel Cold Heading Wire for Precision Fastener Manufacturing

Stainless steel cold heading wire is designed for manufacturers producing screws, bolts, nuts, rivets, pins and other cold-formed components. Through controlled wire processing, the material provides suitable formability, surface condition and mechanical properties for cold heading and cold forging operations.

TOPONE supplies stainless steel cold heading wire in multiple grades, including 201, 202, 302, 302HQ, 304, 304HC and 316, supporting different requirements for corrosion resistance, forming processes and final component applications.

The wire is available with bright surface or soap-coated surface options. Selection depends on production process requirements, forming equipment, lubrication conditions and finished product requirements.

Product Specifications

Available Stainless Steel Grades

302HQ Stainless Steel Cold Heading Wire

302HQ is a commonly selected grade for stainless steel fastener production. Its chemical composition is designed for cold forming applications where reduced work hardening characteristics are required.

Typical applications:

• Self-tapping screws
• Small machine screws

304HC Stainless Steel Cold Heading Wire

304HC stainless steel wire is suitable for cold heading applications requiring a balance between corrosion resistance and forming performance.

Typical applications:

• Bolts
• Nuts
• Screws
• General stainless steel fasteners

316 Stainless Steel Cold Heading Wire

316 stainless steel cold heading wire is often selected for applications requiring improved resistance in environments exposed to moisture or chloride conditions.

Typical applications:

• Marine equipment fasteners
• Outdoor hardware
• Chemical processing components

Surface Options
