Fine stainless steel wire (often referred to as “wet drawn” stainless fine wire) is wire of diameters generally < 0.025” with bright finish due to drawing through diamond dies immersed in oil. Grades of stainless steel fine wire cover the whole range of stainless steels compositions.

Such stainless steel fine wire is used in a variety of important applications: weaving fine wire for stainless steel cloth and mesh, knitting stainless steel fine wire for filtration devices, braiding fine wire for stainless steel protected flexible hoses, stranding fine wire for stainless steel cables & wire ropes, fine wire medical stainless steel for devices such as stents & probes.

Stainless steel fine wire is mostly used in Weaving, Knitting and Braiding applications such as :

• Woven wire for cloth and mesh :  filtration, architectural & decorative applications,…
• Knitted wire for filtration
• Agricultural fine wire for beehives frames
• Braided wire for flexible hoses :domestic & industrial  hydraulic applications
• Medical wire for dental applications
• Stranded wire for various types of cables, rigging slings & cables in boats, etc..
• Locking wire for safety applications in vehicles, motorcycles, aircrafts ,etc

According to standards : 

• ISO 4782 - DIN 177
