201, 304 and 316 are all common stainless steel grades. They have different compositions and properties, which make them suitable for various applications.
Stainless Annealed Wire refers to stainless steel wire that has been annealed (heat treated) to improve its ductility and softness. The term "shiny" refers to the shiny, polished appearance of the wire.
Here is a breakdown of the properties of each stainless steel grade:
1. 201 stainless steel: It is a low-nickel stainless steel with good corrosion resistance, high formability and low cost. Stainless Steel Bright Wire is commonly used in decorative applications, kitchen appliances and some automotive parts.
2. 304 stainless steel: Due to its excellent corrosion resistance, good formability and versatility, it is the most widely used stainless steel grade. 304 Bright Rod Wire is commonly used in food processing equipment, chemical containers, construction applications, and more.
3. 316 Stainless Steel: Compared with 201 and 304, An…
