Selecting the Right Material for Your Project
Choosing the appropriate material for your wire forming project is crucial for its success. Often, customers may opt for steel without realizing that stainless steel might be a better fit. Understanding the distinctions and characteristics of different materials is essential.
Steel, being carbon-based, is susceptible to rust, forming an active iron oxide film when exposed to air and moisture, thereby accelerating corrosion. Carbon steel, a metal alloy of carbon and iron, typically contains less than 2 percent carbon and lacks additional metal elements. Widely used in various sectors due to its ferromagnetic properties, carbon steel’s surface hardness can be enhanced through processes like carburizing.
In contrast, stainless steel, also a metal alloy comprising iron and chromium, contains a minimum of 10 percent chromium. Additional elements such as titanium and nickel may be incorporated to augment specific qualities. Unlike steel, stainless steel does not rust or corrode; instead, it forms a passive film of chromium oxide, preventing further corrosion and ensuring a prolonged lifespan.
Applications and Considerations
Stainless steel wire fabrications find diverse applications, from kitchen and bathroom accessories to aerospace components, medical devices, chair frames, and more. At AWC Industries, we prioritize understanding your unique requirements and ensuring that your project objectives are met. With our technical expertise and commitment to excellence, you can trust us to deliver superior results within the shortest turnaround time.
