FAQs
Which grade is better for high-temperature applications: AISI 301, 302, or 316?
AISI 316 is preferred for high-temperature applications due to its superior resistance to oxidation and thermal stress.
Can these wires be used in marine environments?
AISI 316 is the best choice for marine applications because of its molybdenum content, which provides excellent resistance to chloride-induced corrosion.
What is the difference between AISI 301 and AISI 302 wires?
AISI 301 offers higher strength and work hardening properties, while AISI 302 has better ductility and is more commonly used for general-purpose applications.
