This includes all common grades in different dimensions and packagings. We operate three warehouses which are equipped with modern storage units including high-racks.
All this allows us to deliver our customers orders often immediately or with only short waiting times. Our standard selection includes wires in the range from 0,10 mm to 16,00 mm (an overview of the wires that we regularly keep in our warehouse stock is given here). In addition we can offer wires from 0,03 mm up to 27,50 mm.
Advantages of Stainless Steel Wire
Stainless steel wires are used in various industrial branches. These include standard applications in the automotive industry or architectural purposes. Mechanical engineering or chemical and food industries likewise regularly use according wire grades.

Brief characterization of the AISI grades that we regularly hold in stock
As a stockist we keep various AISI grades in different dimensions in stock. These include the following materials.
AISI 302 is an austenitic steel grade with a high strength and a good formability. The material allows hot forming (cooled by air) at 1200-900 °C and solution heat treatment (cooled by air or water) at 1000-1100 °C. AISI 302 has a low magnetizability and good welding as well as polishing properties. It is corrosion resistant, however, lesser than AISI 304 due to the lower nickel content.

AISI 304 is an austenitic chrome-nickel-steel with a good corrosion resistance. The material is suitable for cold forming and forging, has a very low magnetizability and is well polishable. AISI 304 is characterized by an excellent weldability in solution-annealed condition and can be used for temperatures up to 550 °C. However, intercrystalline corrosion may occur in the welded state or when used with much higher temperatures. AISI 304 allows hot forming, cooled by air, at 1200-900 °C. Solution heat treatment with cooling by air or water is possible at 1000-1100 °C.

AISI 304L is corrosion resistant austenitic steel. The material has a chemical composition similar to AISI 304, but differs by its lower content of carbon. AISI 304L is suitable for cold forming and can be used for various welding processes. The material allows hot forming at 1200-900 °C when cooled by air and solution heat treatment at 1020-1120 °C when cooled by air or water.

AISI 305 is an austenitic steel that contains a higher amount of nickel relative to other stainless wires. It is thus particularly corrosion resistant. AISI 305 is suitable for cold forming, cold upsetting and polishing and has good welding properties. The material allows hot forming, cooled by air, at 1200-900 °C. Solution heat treatment with cooling by air or water is possible at 1000-1100 °C.
