Precision wire determines the quality of your handles, racks, and guards. We help global manufacturers source industrial-grade stainless steel wires in China. We focus on chemical accuracy, consistent diameter, and the right tensile strength for your forming machines.
Why You Need Strict QC for Wire Sourcing
In the metal raw material market, visual inspection is not enough. Buying wires from traders without technical verification often leads to:
- Material Fraud: Receiving low-nickel 201 wire instead of the 304 grade you paid for, causing rust issues later.
- Inconsistent Diameter: Wire that varies by ±0.1mm can jam your automated bending or welding machines, stopping production.
- Wrong Hardness: Wire that is too hard (high tensile strength) may crack during forming; wire that is too soft won’t hold its shape.
HSY Sourcing verifies the metallurgy before the coil is loaded. We ensure the wire feeds smoothly into your production line.
Wire Specifications We Source
We source directly from wire drawing mills in Jiangsu and Guangdong, tailored to your production needs:
- Material Grades: SUS 304 (18/8) for high-end cookware; SUS 201/202 for budget lines; SUS 430 for magnetic applications.
- Forms:
- Coils: For automated bending/welding machines (weight customized).
- Cut-to-Length: Straightened bars for manual processing.
- Surface Finish: Matte (pickled), Bright (polished), or Electrolytic-ready finish.
- Applications: For manufacturing pot handles, cooling racks, steamer inserts, whisk wires, and rim guards.
Material Verification Protocol
We function as your external lab. Our QC includes:
- PMI Testing (Spectrometer): The only way to prove the grade. We analyze the Nickel and Chromium content to confirm it is genuine 304 or 201 stainless steel.
- Micrometer Checks: We measure the diameter at multiple points of the coil to ensure strict tolerance (typically ±0.02mm) for smooth machine feeding.
- Tensile Strength Test: We verify the mechanical properties (Soft, 1/4 Hard, or Full Hard) to match your specific bending or stamping process.
- Salt Spray Test: Testing the corrosion resistance of the wire surface before shipping.

FAQ
Q: Can you source wires suitable for electrolytic polishing?
A: Yes. We specify “EP Quality” wires from the mill, which have fewer surface defects and inclusions, ensuring a shiny finish after your polishing process.
Q: What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for custom wire diameters?
A: Typically, wire mills require 500kg to 1 ton per specification. However, for common sizes (like 3mm-6mm), smaller quantities are negotiable.
Q: Do you provide Mill Test Certificates (MTC)?
A: Always. Every shipment includes the factory’s MTC, and we can perform a counter-check with a third-party lab if requested.
