What is a 316 stainless steel wire rod?
Type 316 stainless steel wire rod is the standard high corrosion resistant steel for rope and cable. It is resistant to many chemicals in the pulp and paper, photographic, food processing and textile industries. It has the best pitting resistance in marine and salt water and can be used in temperatures up to 480ºC (900ºF). Stainless 316 is made up of 16% chromium, 10% nickel and 2% molybdenum. Timex Metals is one of the biggest Stainless Steel 316 Wire Rod manufacturers in India. It offers the finest quality Stainless Steel 316/316L/316Ti Wire Rods to different wire drawing factories around the globe.
Are there Stainless steel crucibles for melting metal?
Yes there are steel and stainless steel crucibles, Along with the older Iron crucibles, both are hard to find, so I looked up a number of mill/cnc and Now we should have these available on ebay or in my private collector precious metals exchange (PCPMEX.) If you have any other questions feel free to eail me @ waschenck@yahoo..com Regards William

Why is stainless steel metals alloyed?
Alloying steel with other elements is how you MAKE CRS (Stainless steel) to begin with. CRS means 'Corrosion-Resistant Steel'.Alloying is a way to use the best parts of several elements together in one material.------------------------------The alloy stainless steel is made up of iron (70%), chromium (20%) & nickel (10%). Iron on its own corrodes, but turning it into the alloy stainless steel means that the alloy doesn't corrode.

How much does a gram of stainless steel cost?
Stainless steel is not actually a type of metal, but the name for a group of metals that share similar characteristics. Essentially any steel with a minimum of 10% chromium The correct name for stainless steel is "corrosion resistant steel" it can be marked by rusting in specific circumstances, it gets its name because it just "Stains less". Different grades of stainless steel (the grade describes exactly which metals, and in what quantities, they add into the mix when they initially make the metal) are used for specific purposes: * There is a grade of stainless used in maritime applications that resists attack by sea water. * There is a grade of stainless steel known as '440 stainless' originally developed specifically to make scalpel blades for surgeons, whilst difficult to sharpen by hand, this has an ability to hold its edge, and is often used in general knife making. * There are other grades used for general medical purposes, for making tools, bowls etc, these are great, as they can be used, cleaned, heated up to kill all bacteria, then packaged up ready for use the next time in sterile wrappings. * The chemical industry uses a lot of stainless steel, that can do things like withstand acid attacks or take superheated liquids. * The food industry also uses a lot of stainless steel in the manufacture of its products, again its ability to be cleaned down is of great use here. * The list goes on, stainless steel pans in the home, stainless steel nuts and bolts in your car etc etc So with all these different grades of stainless steel, which specific grade do you want a price on? some of the stainless steels are relatively inexpensive, yet others are extremely expensive.
Why is stainless steel denser than water?
Because the molecules of the substances that make up steel are packed more tightly that are water molecules.
Differences between ferrous and non-ferrous metals?
The word "Ferrous" indicates "Iron". Ferrous metals are metals which are made up of iron. For example, Carbon steel, Wrought iron, Stainless steel and Iron itself. Non-ferrous metals on the other hand are metals which do not have any iron content in them. For example, Nickel, Lead, Brass, Copper, etc.
