304 wire can withstand high temperatures up to 870 degrees Celsius. The wires are used for this reason in evaporators, heat exchangers and in other high temperature applications. The Stainless Steel 304 wire is also used in drums, barrels, dairy equipment, food processing and in hospital equipment.
This is the most cost effective grade of steel. So the 304 Stainless Steel wire Price is lower compared to other grades of stainless steels and all metallic products in general. There are different versions of the material with low carbon and high carbon content. The wires and UNS S30400 Stainless Steel Strip Specification varies and the applications differ for the different versions of the material. The low carbon version, 304L wires are very good for welding applications as they have less carbide precipitation and less localized corrosion. The ASME SA240 Stainless Steel 304 wire Thickness ranges up to 200mm and the width and the length ranges widely depending on the application requirements as well.
