The characteristics of 316l stainless steel wire rod mainly include:
Corrosion resistance: 316l stainless steel wire rod has better corrosion resistance than 304 stainless steel due to the presence of molybdenum (Mo), especially in terms of pitting and chloride corrosion resistance.
High temperature performance: Under high temperature conditions, 316l stainless steel wire rod has good oxidation resistance. It can be used intermittently below 1600 degrees and continuously below 700 degrees.
Welding performance: 316l stainless steel wire rod has good welding performance and can be welded by all standard welding methods. When welding, 316Cb, 316L or 309Cb stainless steel filler rods or welding rods can be used for welding according to the purpose
Mechanical properties: The tensile strength of 316l stainless steel wire rod is not less than 485MPa, the yield strength is not less than 170MPa, the elongation is not less than 30%, and the area reduction is not less than 40%
Density and hardness: The density of 316l stainless steel wire rod is 7.93g/cm³, and the hardness is HRB<90, HV<200, HBS<187

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.
