## Description

**Wire Specifications:** - Diameter: 36 Gauge / 0.13mm - Shape: Round - Alloy: Stainless Steel 316L - Length: 250 ft. - Heat Treatment: Annealed (soft) - Melting Temperature: 2550°F / 1400°C - Maximum Operating Temperature: 1700°F / 925°C - Resistance: 18.5 Ohms/ft at room temperature This wire is intended for the repair and maintenance of electronic components. Typical applications include home and industrial heaters, diffusion heaters, dishwashers, cooking plates, electric blankets, hair dryers, kerosene-fired appliances, kettles, refrigerators, rice cookers, tumble dryers, washing machines, and electrical heating elements in high-temperature furnaces for heat treatment, ceramics, glass, steel, and electronics industries.

Review: Reasonable value - I enjoy Viking knitting, a wire technique for making woven chains, and recently started using stainless steel. The 316L alloy is ideal for the purpose, since it's especially resistant to salty sweat. (The same alloy made to tighter specs is used for surgical implants.) I've used copper, brass, and silver in the past, but steel is a bit different. It's stiffer, so thinner wires are easier to handle than the same size of non-ferrous metal. Finer wires give results I like, so I wanted to see how far I could push that design parameter. Answer: not this far. 36go wire has a diameter about 0.13mm - for comparison, human hair is commonly about 0.1mm. I've gotten great results with 30ga wire (lower gauge is thicker). 32ga works, but not as easily as 30ga, and even 34ga is tough to work with, but still usable in limited cases. 36ga is just too thin, not stiff enough to lace through the gaps in the woven pattern. This wire seems like perfectly good stuff, just not for my application, and that's not the wire's fault. This cost half what a movie ticket would, and I got my money's worth. I consider the price to be tuition for the lesson about using this material - even if I can't use it. -- wireweird
Review: I used this to replace the wire inside my Sharper Image filter. - I have multiple sharper image filters that use the stainless steal wire for ionization. Occasionally these can get snagged and break or come loose in the dishwasher or from mis-handling. I ended up purchasing this wire and (36 ga). and some ball fishing weights and they work perfectly. Now I will be good for many years to come. This is very thin, but very strong and perfect for this use.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have an egg slicer that the wire needs replacing.  Will this wire work well to bend and form to the egg slicing? Thank you for your answer.**
A: I don't know how resilient the 36 gauged 316L would be.  Because it is so thin it breaks easily when pinched or bent multiple times. It also stretches easily. I use 20 pound test nylon fishing line (not monofilament) on my cheese cutter. Usually lasts a few months before I have to change it. I've never tried using the 36g 316L as a cutting wire. I don't know how well it would work.

**Q: What is the tensile strength of this wire?**
A: Not sure, not too much I would imagine. It is very thin, like beard hair thin, and is not made to handle any real weight. It is resistance wire, made for use in electrical heating elements. Like in your toaster.

**Q: What is the tensile strength of this wire?**
A: Negligible. It is not made to handle any real mechanical stress, it is resistance wire. It is used in electric heating elements and such.
