Stainless steel wire AISI 304/316
AISI 304 stainless steel wire features exceptional corrosion resistance, flexibility, and durability – suitable for the production of fences, nets, fasteners, filters, and decorative structures. Unlike galvanized wire, stainless steel wire does not rust even in damp environments. Karuselė supplies wire in coils from 0.1 mm to 6.0 mm in diameter or cut to the required length. We have it in stock.
About stainless steel wire
AISI 304 stainless steel wire – the most widely used option: it consists of 18% chromium and 8% nickel, resistant to atmospheric conditions, water, and many acids. Used for making nets, fastening, decorative installations, twisted ropes, and filter fabrics.
AISI 316 wire with molybdenum additive – essential for marine environments, pools, chemical industry. Hard wire – straight and rigid; soft wire (annealed) – more flexible, easier to shape. Coil: 0.5 kg – 25 kg. Diameters: 0.1; 0.2; 0.3; 0.4; 0.5; 0.6; 0.8; 1.0; 1.2; 1.5; 2.0; 2.5; 3.0; 4.0; 5.0; 6.0 mm. Delivery within 1–3 working days.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between AISI 304 and AISI 316 wire?
AISI 316 has a molybdenum additive – this provides additional resistance to chlorides (marine environment, pools, chemicals). AISI 304 is sufficient for general use.
What diameter wire is suitable for fences?
For fence production, wire with a diameter of 1.2–2.5 mm is most commonly used. For sturdier fences – 3.0–4.0 mm.
Do you sell in small quantities?
Yes – from 0.5 kg roll. Discounts apply for bulk quantities.
Is the wire suitable for CNC bending?
Soft (annealed) wire is bent manually or mechanically; hard wire requires special tools.
Is it suitable for the food industry?
Yes – AISI 304 and 316 wire meets food contact requirements. A certificate is provided upon request.
