Stainless steel wire contains a high chromium content that forms a passive protective layer against rust and oxidation. Thanks to this corrosion resistance it is widely used in technical environments exposed to moisture, chemicals or temperature fluctuations.
The chosen alloy – such as AISI 304, 316, 302, 310 or 420 – determines how the wire behaves in your process. Some grades are suited for aggressive environments, others for structural applications or use in the food industry. Depending on the alloy, stainless steel wire offers properties such as dimensional stability, weldability, acid resistance or heat resistance.
At Metalwire we supply stainless steel wire in a wide range of diameters and coil forms, such as coils, spools or spiders. Each execution is tailored to your application, equipment and required tolerances. Many common grades are available directly from stock.
Key options at a glance
Alloys – tailored to corrosion, temperature or mechanical requirements
Diameters – approx. 0.80 mm to 6.00 mm
Forms – coil, spool, spider
Applications and advice: corrosion resistance for demanding environments
Stainless steel wire is used in industrial processes where stability, corrosion resistance and dimensional accuracy are essential. Depending on the alloy, the wire resists moisture, acids or heat – crucial properties in sectors such as food, construction, mechanical engineering and chemical processing.
Typical applications
Conveyor belt systems for the food industry
Fasteners such as clamps, hooks or springs
Frames and structural parts in stainless steel workshops
Hose clamps or couplings in installation technology
Wire structures in retail displays or shelving
The right specification prevents deformation, discolouration or breakage during processing or use. That is why we advise not only on diameter or alloy, but also on tolerances, coil form and processability. Working with automatic bending machines, laser cutters or welding systems? We adjust the wire specification accordingly, ensuring process stability from the first operation to the finished product.

Consistent quality, reliable delivery and large stock
We work with producers in regions renowned for steel and wire production. They manufacture according to international standards; we inspect each batch for diameter, tensile strength and tolerances. Test reports or certificates are available on request.
Common variants are available directly from stock. Specific diameters, finishes or coil forms are quickly arranged through our international network. Deliveries are aligned with your production and warehouse flows. You receive clear labels, the right packaging and coil form to fit your production line – from coil to spool.
This way you avoid delays, downtime or rejections and keep the focus on production rather than material issues.
