Annealed SS 304 304L Wire
304 annealed stainless steel wire is mainly used for stainless steel fine mesh and wire binding, tensile strength is up to 700 MPa (100,000 psi).
Cold Drawn SS 304 304L Wire
304 cold drawn stainless steel wire is mainly used for coarse mesh, welded wire mesh, tensile strength is 830-1030 MPa (120,000 – 150,000 psi).
For spring applications, the tensile strength is shown as follows:
