FAQ: Everything You Need to Know About 304 Stainless Steel Wires
What’s your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
MOQ is typically 1000 kg, but we also accept smaller trial orders or sample coils.
Can I request a custom wire diameter or finish?
Yes, we offer full customization including diameter, hardness, and surface finish.
Do you provide mill test certificates (MTC)?
Yes, MTC is provided with every shipment according to EN 10204 3.1 standard.
How fast can you deliver after order confirmation?
Stock items ship in 7–10 days; customized orders in about 15–25 days.
What is the difference between your 304 and 316 stainless steel wire?
304 stainless steel (18% chromium/8% nickel) is a general-purpose grade stainless steel with excellent corrosion resistance and economical performance. 316 stainless steel adds 2%-3% molybdenum (Mo) to 304, significantly enhancing its resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride environments (such as seawater and salt spray). If your application involves high salinity or strong acids and bases, 316 is recommended. For general-purpose environments, 304 is a more cost-effective option.
Can you export to Europe or South America?
Absolutely. We’ve exported stainless wire products to more than 60 countries worldwide.
How do you choose between "annealed soft wire" and "cold-drawn hard wire"?
This depends primarily on your end product and processing.
If you require good flexibility, bendability, or deep-drawability, choose annealed soft wire.
If you require high tensile strength and elasticity (such as for springs or load-bearing supports), choose cold-drawn hard wire.
Is 304 stainless steel wire magnetic?
Standard 304 stainless steel is austenitic and non-magnetic in its annealed state. However, during the cold-drawing process to produce wire, a portion of the austenite may transform into martensite, resulting in slight magnetism.
Can 304L be used instead of 304 for wire applications?
Yes. 304L is a low-carbon alternative. If your application involves welding the wires (e.g., welded wire mesh), 304L is recommended to prevent intergranular corrosion in the heat-affected zone.
What is the price of 304 stainless steel wire per kg?
The price of 304 stainless steel wire fluctuates depending on the nickel (Ni) market price and the required wire diameter. Generally, the processing cost of finer wires (diameter <0.5mm) is higher. For the latest bulk pricing, please contact Huaxiao for a real-time quote.
