Stainless Steel Wire

Cold Forming Stainless Steel Bar and Wire

Stainless steel wire suture technique in thoracic surgery.

Before embarking upon any new surgical procedure or technique three conditions need to be fulfilled. First, it must be shown to be necessary, secondly, there must be sufficient experimental evidence to justify a trial of the new method; and tlhirdly, any advantage the new may appear to have over the old must be shown to possess statistical significance before its final adoption is justified, un...

Characterisation of severely deformed austenitic stainless steel wire

The microstructure of 8 mm diameter wire produced by the severe deformation of 316L austenitic stainless steel has been examined using TEM and X-ray diffraction. The deformation imparted amounts to a true strain of 6.3. Data from previous studies on strain induced transformation of this steel have been combined with new results to show that true strains .2 are required in order to observe mecha...

Stainless Steel Type 316Ti

Allegheny Ludlum Type 316Ti (UNS S31635) is a titanium stabilized version of Type 316 molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steel. It is also known as DIN/EN designation No. 1.4571. The Type 316 alloys are more resistant to general corrosion and pitting/crevice corrosion than the conventional chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steels such as Type 304. They also offer higher creep, stress-ru...

Ratcheting of 316L stainless steel thin wire under tension-torsion loading

A series of cyclic tension-torsion tests under symmetric shear strain and asymmetric axial stress control in various loading paths are conducted on 100 μm-diameter 316L steel wires applying a micro tensiontorsion fatigue testing apparatus. The ratcheting strain of the thin wire increases with increasing axial mean stress and decreases in a sequence of linear, rhombic and circular paths. The mac...
