Stainless 316 Spray Wire 3.17 mm

About Stainless 316 Spray Wire 3.17 mm

This 3.17 mm diameter wire is manufactured from AISI 316 / UNS S31600 grade stainless steel. The alloy contains molybdenum, which improves pitting and crevice corrosion resistance compared to standard 304 grades. When sprayed through arc or combustion flame equipment, the wire melts and atomizes into fine droplets that flatten and solidify on the workpiece, building up a protective coating layer.

Typical coating characteristics include good inter-particle bonding, low oxide content when sprayed with proper parameters, and machinable as-sprayed deposits. The coating serves as a barrier against atmospheric corrosion, chemical attack, and oxidation at moderate temperatures. Common uses include reclamation of worn stainless steel shafts, pump sleeves, hydraulic rods, and marine hardware.

Process Compatibility and Selection

Stainless 316 spray wire is compatible with both twin-wire electric arc spray systems and oxy-fuel wire flame spray guns. The 3.17 mm diameter is a standard size that feeds reliably through drive rollers and wire guides designed for this gauge. If you are unsure about process fit, our team can help you cross-check your equipment specifications before you order.

We recommend confirming your required pack size, wire grade, and diameter at the enquiry stage. This avoids delays and ensures the quotation matches your production needs.
