446 stainless steel soft wire

JYTSTEEL is a leading manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of 446 stainless steel soft wire, fabricated from high-quality raw materials. Our stainless steel 446 wire is known for its outstanding resistance to corrosion, oxidation, and sulfidation, making it an ideal choice for various industrial applications.

Exceptional Properties and Applications

446 stainless steel soft wire is a high chromium material that offers superior resistance to oxidation and high temperatures. It is the only grade that can withstand molten brass and copper, making it a valuable asset in many industries. While common welding methods can be applied, it is important to note that the high chromium content makes it challenging to bend, draw, spin, and weld. This alloy does not respond to heat treatment for hardening but provides excellent performance in thermal applications.

Due to its unmatched qualities, SS 446 round bars and wires are widely utilized in:

• Burners and boiler parts
• Industrial fasteners and springs
• Medical and dental devices
• Textile and construction applications
• Shipbuilding and paper/pulp industries
• Defense and automotive components
• Welding electrodes and machinery

The machinability of SS 446 round bars and wires is achieved at a slow pace with sharp tooling surfaces and optimal feeds. Forging begins at 2100°F and is completed at 1600°F, allowing for both hot working and cold working processes. This ensures that the wires maintain superior strength at elevated temperatures as well as sub-zero conditions, providing excellent mechanical properties even when cold worked.
