The main characteristic of Stainless Steel is it's resistance to corrosion. However there are different grades of stainless steel available. In a regular screening application, T304 is usually the standard alloy. If however chemical reactions are included in the screening process, higher grade stainless steel wires may be necessary. W. S. Tyler will assist you in determining the right stainless steel alloy for your process.
Stainless Steel Wires also have a smooth surface, that will reduce blinding.
Most stainless steel alloys are non-magnetic.
However the tensile strength of Stainless Steel is lower than of High Carbon Wires. |
|
| The chromium content of T304 is ~18%, Nickel is ~8%. This allows for corrosion resistance in regular screening applications. |
|
| Almost comparable to T304, Stainless Steel T316 has an additional ~2% Molybdenum content, which increases the corrosion resistance. This is the alloy we recommend for exterior architectural applications to avoid corrosion from the pollution found in today's air. |
|
| T430 has magnetic qualities and is therefore often used in food applications. |
