Product Specifications

Note: Confirm the required grade, surface condition, mechanical properties, dimensional tolerance, and applicable standard before placing an order. Lead time depends on specifications and production scheduling.

Stainless Steel Grade Selection

201 Stainless Steel EPQ Wire

Grade 201 can be considered for applications where material cost, forming requirements, and general corrosion conditions need to be balanced. Its suitability should be evaluated according to the working environment and required mechanical properties.

304 Stainless Steel EPQ Wire

Grade 304 is commonly used for general industrial wire forming and fabricated stainless steel products. It can be considered for racks, baskets, shelves, and other components where formability and corrosion resistance are important.

316 Stainless Steel EPQ Wire

Grade 316 contains molybdenum and is commonly selected when improved resistance to certain corrosive environments is required compared with 304. Actual performance depends on chloride concentration, temperature, chemical exposure, and service conditions.

304Cu Stainless Steel EPQ Wire

Grade 304Cu can be considered for applications requiring specific forming and processing characteristics. Buyers should confirm the exact material specification and mechanical condition to ensure suitability for the intended manufacturing process.

Surface Finish Options

Bright Surface

Bright stainless steel wire offers a clean metallic appearance and can be considered for components where the visible surface is important. Surface requirements should be specified according to the final product's appearance and processing needs.

EPQ Surface

Electrolytic polishing or EPQ-related surface requirements should be confirmed with the supplier according to the actual product specification. Surface treatment, finish level, and inspection criteria should be agreed before production.

Applications

Household and Kitchen Products

Stainless steel EPQ wire can be used in the manufacture of kitchen racks, storage baskets, shelves, and other wire-formed household products. Material grade and surface finish should be selected according to the intended environment and appearance requirements.

Industrial Wire-Formed Components

The 0.15-12mm diameter range supports a variety of wire-forming projects, including formed components, fixtures, and fabricated parts. Final suitability depends on component geometry, forming equipment, and required mechanical properties.

Automotive and Equipment Components

EPQ wire may be considered for selected automotive and equipment components where the specified stainless steel grade, surface condition, and mechanical properties meet the design requirements.

Surface-Sensitive Components

Bright-finish wire can be evaluated for products where the appearance of the finished wire is part of the component specification. Surface acceptance criteria should be clearly defined for production and inspection.

Product Advantages

Multiple Stainless Steel Grades

The availability of 201, 304, 316, and 304Cu provides material options for different corrosion environments, forming processes, and component requirements.

Wide Wire Diameter Range: 0.15-12mm

The specified diameter range supports fine-wire applications as well as larger industrial wire-forming requirements. The final diameter should be selected according to component design, dimensional tolerance, and manufacturing equipment.

Standards-Based Specification

The product can be specified according to applicable standards such as ASTM A580, JIS G4309, EN 10088-3, and GB/T 4240, subject to confirmation of the exact grade and requirements.

Clear standards and inspection criteria provide a reference for evaluating material composition, dimensions, and mechanical properties.

Application-Oriented Material Selection

Choosing wire based on grade, diameter, surface finish, and mechanical condition helps align material specifications with the downstream forming process.

Flexible Packaging Options

Coil and spool packaging can be discussed according to wire diameter, order quantity, handling requirements, and the customer's production equipment.

How to Select Stainless Steel EPQ Wire

Confirm the Material Grade

Select 201, 304, 316, or 304Cu according to corrosion exposure, forming requirements, and the required mechanical properties.

Define the Wire Diameter

Specify the required diameter within the 0.15-12mm range and confirm the dimensional tolerance needed for the finished component.

Specify the Surface Condition

Define the required surface finish and any additional treatment or appearance criteria. If electrolytic polishing is required, confirm the exact process and acceptance requirements.

Confirm Mechanical Properties

Where applicable, specify tensile strength, elongation, hardness, or other mechanical requirements according to the intended forming process and product standard.

Identify the Application Environment

Consider moisture, chloride exposure, chemicals, temperature, and contact with other materials when selecting the appropriate grade.

Quality Control Considerations

For industrial EPQ wire procurement, quality requirements should be defined before production. Relevant inspection items may include:

• Stainless steel grade and chemical composition

• Wire diameter and dimensional tolerance

• Tensile strength and other specified mechanical properties

• Surface condition and finish

• Compliance with the agreed standard

• Coil or spool packaging and identification

• Required test reports or material documentation

Inspection methods and acceptance criteria should be agreed according to the purchase specification. Any certificate or test report should be confirmed for the specific order.
