Why Use Stainless Steel for Your Custom Wire Forms?

These are just a few of the applications that a custom wire basket made from stainless steel can be used for. Of course, the specific type of stainless steel used will depend on the exact nature of the process. Some variations of stainless steel work better for certain applications than others.

For example, grade 316 stainless steel is often preferred for applications where contact with salt or other chlorides is common because it is resistant to pitting corrosion caused by salt. Meanwhile, some prefer hardened and stress relieved grade 430 stainless steel for its incredibly high tensile strength. Grade 304 stainless steel, on the other hand, is widely useful for a variety of applications, making it one of the most commonly used stainless steel grades in all sorts of industries.

 Stainless steel is an iron-based alloy made up of two or more basic raw materials found in nature, including iron ore, chromium, silicon, nickel, carbon, nitrogen, and manganese. Elements are added to enhance specific properties of the metal, such as corrosion resistance, ductility, malleability, and so on.
