Among the many applications of stainless steels, “Forming” is the most prevalent usage of stainless steel wires: stainless steel wires are ideal for forming, bending or shaping into a very large array of manufactured stainless steel products.

After forming, stainless steel wires are found in bent, woven, braided, meshed, stranded, shaped stainless steel products typical of the many usages of stainless steels. Stainless steel wire grades for forming cover a wide range from Ferritic stainless steels type 430, low-cost Austenitic stainless grades type 204Cu to the main Austenitic stainless grades: 18Cr/8Ni grades type 304 and Cr-Ni-Mo grades type 316 for improved Corrosion resistance.

Toponewire, as a leading supplier of stainless steel wire in China, carries a large & very diversified ( grades, sizes ) stock of stainless steel wires including electro-polish quality finish (referred to as EPQ).

Forming applications are the most widespread type of usage of stainless steel wire, covering multiple applications in several key industries, such as:

• Household appliances ( baskets, drainers, grids, mixers, …)
• Food processing industies ( trays, conveyors, shelving, hooks, filters, etc..)
• Restaurants ( individual, collective, schools ) ; trays, trolleys, shelving, filters, drainers,..…
• Construction : nails, staples, hooks, wall anchors, grid panels, decorative architectural…
• Automotive/ bicycles : Chains, spokes, wipers, clamps, hangers,..…
• Agriculture/Agroindustries : Trellising , safety fences, anchor wire, silo equipment, etc…
• Medical : hospital furniture and instruments ( trays, storage shelving, sterilization equipment )
• Pharmaceutical industries : trays, mixers, heat treatment equipment, bottling, ..
• Note : always refer to the grade selection guide provided in the Technical Section of the Sadevinox Website
• Also note that our good surface finish is rated EPQ ( Electro-polishing Quality )
