As an important industrial raw material, SS316 stainless steel wire rod has the following characteristics:
Corrosion resistance: The corrosion resistance of SS316 stainless steel wire rod is one of its most notable characteristics. It contains molybdenum, which makes it particularly resistant to corrosion in chloride environments, especially in seawater and salt-damaged areas
High temperature performance: SS316 stainless steel wire rod has good high temperature resistance and can be used for a long time in an environment up to 870 degrees Celsius, and short-term use at higher temperatures will not affect its characteristics
Formability and weldability: SS316 stainless steel wire rod has very good formability and weldability. During the manufacturing process, whether it is stamping, stretching, or bending, the material can maintain excellent processing performance. After welding, the corrosion resistance of the material will not only not decrease, but will be enhanced due to the corrosion-resistant modified layer formed
Chemical composition: The main alloying elements of SS316 stainless steel wire rod include 16%-18% chromium, 10%-14% nickel, and 2%-3% molybdenum. Chromium increases the corrosion resistance of the material, nickel improves its toughness and plasticity, and the addition of molybdenum significantly improves the corrosion resistance of stainless steel in chlorides
Application scenarios: Due to the above characteristics, SS316 stainless steel wire rod is widely used in the chemical industry, aerospace, medical equipment, food processing and other fields

Composition of Stainless Steel
Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon. Stainless steels are steels containing at least 10.5% chromium, less than 1.2% carbon and other alloying elements. Stainless steel’s corrosion resistance and
mechanical properties can be further enhanced by adding other elements, such as nickel, molybdenum, titanium, niobium, manganese, etc.
