Stainless Steel Wire
316 stainless steel: Similar properties to 304ss but is stabilized by the addition of Molybdenum for increased resistance to chemical corrosion.
316L stainless steel: Similar properties as 316ss but lower carbon content to permit better welding.
Standard: AISI, ASTM, DIN, GB, JIS, SUS
