304 stainless steel wire is an austenitic grade well-known for its excellent corrosion resistance, formability, and weldability. Comprising 18% chromium and 8% nickel, it offers a good balance of strength and durability, suitable for a wide range of applications. 304 wire resists most oxidizing acids and withstands ordinary rusting, making it ideal for both industrial and domestic use. Common applications include wire mesh and netting, woven or welded screens for mining, quarrying, and water filtration; wire baskets; springs; and various wire forms in the electronics and electrical industries. Its versatility and corrosion resistance make it a popular choice for situations requiring durability and hygiene.
