just12noe 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2008 HI , I need some stainless steel wire to do some DIY. Most hardware store sell those galvanized wire which rust easily. Anyone know where I can get stainless steel wire for diameter 1mm and 2 mm ( solid type, not those multi strands ) Please let me know. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gladyslim 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2008 Stainless steel is a very hard material where u can't use normal cutter to cut it. It is not easy to bend it into the shape u want, u need to use flame. check with Hong Hock hware at Hamilton Rd, tel : 62943832, I think they have the 2mm dia that comes in 2m length. Grade 304 in bright finishing is good enough for use. u can polish it to BA or hairline. For 1.6mm dia, u can get those for use in argon welding, about 1m length and a few bucks a kg. check with Chang Tai Chiang at AMK ind pk 2. also avail. in 304 or 316 there is one type smiliar to stainless steel wire in dia 0.8mm or 1mm which comes in spool for welding purposes.
