MAIN APPLICATIONS

WELDING

The stainless steel welding materials are made for joining parts of stainless steel together.

The combination of corrosion resistance, strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal makes stainless steel a versatile material for welding products across various industries and applications. However, the specific grade and composition of stainless steel should be carefully selected based on the intended use and welding requirements to ensure the best performance.

Stainless steel wire rod is used for manufacturing a wide range of welding applications such as electrodes, flux cored wires and solid wires.

COLD HEADING

We have a wide range of stainless steel wire and wire rod for cold heading, from simple to high demanding applications.

Cold heading is a method of forming metal parts at room temperature, typically used for producing fasteners like bolts, screws, and rivets, as well as various other precision components.

Stainless steel’s combination of ductility, work hardening, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength makes it an ideal material for cold heading applications, especially in industries like automotive, construction, aerospace, and electronics, where precision components with excellent performance and durability are required.

SPRINGS

Stainless steel is used in springs due to its corrosion resistance in applications where corrosion is a problem.

Springs of stainless steel are used in a wide range of end-applications such as engines, oil seals, shaft seals, belt-driven motors, and electrical connectors to name a few.

Spring is a mechanical device which is typically used to store energy and subsequently release it, to absorb shock, or to maintain a force between contacting surfaces. They are made of material formed into the shape of a helix which returns to its natural length when unloaded.

HIGH TEMPERATURE

Stainless steel wire is used in high-temperature applications due to its remarkable combination of properties that enable it to withstand elevated temperatures without significant loss of strength or deformation.

Stainless steel wire finds use in a wide range of high-temperature applications, including furnaces, heat exchangers, gas turbines, exhaust systems, aerospace components, and industrial processing equipment. It is essential to select the appropriate stainless steel grade for a specific high-temperature application, as different grades offer varying levels of resistance to oxidation, corrosion, and creep at different temperature ranges.

BRIGHT FORMING

Products made from stainless steel bright forming wire are often used in environments where there are high demands with regards to hygiene and aesthetical properties. It is therefore important that the surfaces are bright and free from defects.

Industries with bright forming applications indlue automotive, aerospace, medical devices, electronics and electrical components, construction, jewelry, marine, food and beverage.

Fagersta Stainless has developed its own bright drawing methods which makes it possible to offer customers everything from standard to high demanding surfaces.

SPOKE

Stainless steel is commonly used for spoke wire in bicycles due to several beneficial properties that make it well-suited for this application. Spoke wires are an essential component in bicycle wheels, responsible for transferring the load and supporting the weight of the rider and the bike.

The combination of corrosion resistance, strength, flexibility, fatigue resistance, and low maintenance makes stainless steel an excellent choice for spoke wire in bicycles. It ensures reliable and durable performance, contributing to the overall safety and functionality of the bicycle.
