304 and 316 Stainless Steel Wire Rope is a corrosion-resistant cable product designed for marine, architectural and industrial applications. Available constructions include 1x19, 7x7 and 7x19 configurations, providing different combinations of strength, flexibility and durability.
SAKY STEEL supplies stainless steel wire ropes with customized diameters, lengths and constructions according to customer requirements. 304 stainless steel is commonly selected for general corrosion-resistant applications, while 316 stainless steel provides improved resistance in chloride and marine environments.
The selection of stainless steel wire rope depends on working environment, corrosion exposure, required flexibility, load conditions and installation requirements. 316 stainless steel is generally preferred for more demanding marine and chloride-containing environments.

| 7x19 | 7 strands with 19 wires each | Higher flexibility | Marine cable and flexible applications |
304 and 316 stainless steel wire ropes have similar mechanical characteristics, but 316 stainless steel provides improved corrosion resistance due to molybdenum addition. The suitable grade depends on operating environment and corrosion requirements.
| Grade | Main Feature | Relative Cost | Typical Selection |
|---|---|---|---|
| 304 Stainless Steel | Good corrosion resistance and general durability | Lower | Indoor, architectural and general industrial applications |
| 316 Stainless Steel | Improved resistance to chloride and marine environments | Higher | Marine, coastal and corrosive environments |
304 and 316 stainless steel wire ropes are manufactured from austenitic stainless steel materials. The chemical composition provides corrosion resistance and mechanical stability for wire rope applications.
| Element | 304 Stainless Steel | 316 Stainless Steel |
|---|---|---|
| Chromium (Cr) | 18-20% | 16-18% |
| Nickel (Ni) | 8-10.5% | 10-14% |
| Molybdenum (Mo) | - | 2-3% |
| Iron (Fe) | Balance | Balance |
Actual chemical composition depends on the supplied stainless steel grade and shall be confirmed by the applicable material certificate.
Mechanical properties of stainless steel wire rope depend on wire diameter, construction, manufacturing process and applicable specifications.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Tensile Strength | Depends on diameter and wire rope construction |
| Flexibility | 7x7 and 7x19 provide higher flexibility than 1x19 |
| Corrosion Resistance | 316 provides improved resistance in chloride environments |
| Surface Condition | Bright stainless steel surface |
SAKY STEEL manufactures stainless steel wire ropes through controlled wire drawing, stranding and inspection processes to achieve consistent diameter, strength and surface quality.
Typical production process:
Stainless Steel Wire Rod → Drawing → Wire Processing → Stranding → Cutting → Inspection → Packaging
