Stainless Steel 不銹鋼絲
Stainless
Steel, was discovered a hundred years ago. However commercial production was
little advanced until the invention of the (AOD) Argon Oxygen Decarburization
process. The low carbon levels needed to produce stainless steel could not be
achieved without preferential oxidation of the chromium. The AOD process
enabled the reduction of carbon while minimizing the loss of chromium by
utilizing a blend of argon and oxygen gas blown into the molten bath of metal.
Ubiquitous in everyday life, stainless
steel is found in many different forms ? cookware, utensils, cutlery, jewelry,
appliances, medical tubing and needles, building, and architectural materials ?
due to its myriad of desirable properties. The Gateway Arch in St. Louis is
made of Type 304 stainless steel. Stainless steel is corrosion resistant, fire
and heat resistant, hygienic, aesthetic, easy to fabricate, has a high impact
resistance, and is recyclable. It also has a high strength to weight ratio.
Although a kitchen whisk may be the first
stainless steel wire use that comes to mind, other uses such as fasteners, wire
mesh belts, braided hoses, welding wire, and springs represent much larger
commercial applications. California Fine Wire supplies stainless steel wire to
all of its major markets for applications ranging from medical probes to
aerospace lock wire, electronic components, and specialty springs.
Stainless steels have excellent ductility
and can be supplied by California Fine Wire in ribbon and round forms. Round
diameters can be drawn as small as 0.0003” and ribbons from as small as 0.001”
x 0.005” to as large as 0.010” x 0.050”. Call us to discover our capability to
meet your specific wire needs.
Stainless steel wire can be readily plated
with such metals as copper, gold, nickel, silver or tin; and insulated with any
of the enamel, ceramic, or PTFE insulating materials offered by California Fine
Wire. Whether your application requires the strength, stiffness, corrosion
resistance, or hygienic properties of stainless steel.
