Q1. What materials are commonly used?

A. Common wire materials include stainless steel wire, carbon steel wire, galvanized wire, spring steel, aluminum wire, and other alloy wires. Material selection affects elasticity, strength, corrosion resistance, cost, and service life.

Q2. When is stainless steel wire suitable?

A. Stainless steel wire is suitable when corrosion resistance, appearance, humid environments, food equipment, medical devices, outdoor products, or improved resistance to rust are important. SUS304 or SUS316 can commonly be evaluated.

Q3. How should SUS304 and SUS316 be selected?

A. SUS304 may be considered for general indoor or ordinary environments. SUS316 may be evaluated for outdoor, humid, seaside,

salt-spray, chemical, or food-related environments. SUS316 generally offers better corrosion resistance but usually at a higher cost.

Q4. What surface finish options are available?

A. Common surface finishes include zinc plating, nickel plating, chrome plating, blackening, baking paint, electrophoretic coating, polishing, passivation, rust-preventive oil, and customer-specified coatings. Different finishes affect appearance, corrosion resistance, cost, and lead time.

Q5. How can rust problems be improved?

A. Rust resistance can be improved through material selection, surface treatment, packaging, and the operating environment. Common approaches include using stainless steel or SUS316, adding zinc or nickel plating or paint, applying rust-preventive oil, or improving moisture protection in packaging.
