316 Stainless Steel Wire
316 stainless steel wire is a fine wire produced by drawing stainless steel rod; as an austenitic stainless steel, it offers superior corrosion resistance compared to 304 grade and is suitable for harsh environments. Due to its stable performance in marine settings, it is also known as “marine-grade” stainless steel wire.
As a professional manufacturer and supplier, Wanzhi Steel offers 316 stainless steel wire in a variety of diameters and packaging options, as well as finished products such as crimped wire mesh, cable, rope mesh, chicken wire mesh, and chain-link mesh.

Advantages of SUS 316 Stainless Steel Wire
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance – With added molybdenum element, it delivers outstanding anti-rust performance and can serve for a long time in humid and marine environments.
- Premium Sanitation & Appearance – The wire has a smooth, burr-free surface with elegant metallic luster. It meets food-grade requirements and is widely used in medical and biological research fields.
- High Temperature Resistance – Its intermittent operating temperature can reach 1600°C. 316L performs better in resisting carbide precipitation, while 316L is ideal for high-temperature structural and pressure-bearing applications above 500°C.
- Good Workability – We produce products ranging from thick wire to ultra-fine wire and spooled wire. The material features excellent toughness, ductility, and weldability, and can be bent and twisted freely.

Classification of 316 Stainless Steel Wire
- 316 Soft Wire: Tensile strength 620 – 830 MPa. Manufactured via an annealing process with great toughness. Suitable for welded mesh, sieves, protective mesh, and chain link fence.
- 316 Medium Hard Wire: Tensile strength 1070 – 1280 MPa. Balanced hardness and toughness, ideal for springs and mechanical parts.
- 316 Hard Wire: Tensile strength 1480 – 1690 MPa. Cold-drawn wire with high tensile strength and good deformation resistance.
Weight Calculation Formula
Theoretical weight per meter of round wire (kg/km) = Diameter² (mm) × 6.23

Stainless steel wire production and razor barbed wire
Our Product Forms
- Spooled Wire: Wound on plastic or wooden spools, mainly for fine diameters. Neat arrangement for easy use.
- Coiled Wire: The mainstream packaging type. Large loose coils without spools, widely adopted for general delivery.
- Close-wound Coil Wire: Used as binding wire and packing wire. With tidy and non-cross winding, it fits automatic feeding equipment perfectly.
- Straight Cut Wire: Cut into fixed lengths instead of coils. Custom lengths available, commonly used for welding electrodes.
Our stainless steel wire products
- Stainless Steel Binding Wire: Wire specifically designed for bundling and baling; it offers greater durability than galvanized or annealed binding wire.
