Stainless Steel Wedge Profile Wire

Stainless Steel Wedge Profile Wire Overview

Stainless Steel Wedge Profile Wire is a precision-shaped wire with a wedge or trapezoidal cross section. It is mainly used as the working profile wire in wedge wire screens, filter elements, screen cylinders and industrial separation components.

SAKY STEEL supplies stainless steel wedge and trapezoidal profile wire with customized cross-sectional dimensions, tolerances, surface condition and delivery form. 304 and 316 are common selections, while other stainless steel grades can be reviewed according to corrosion environment and fabrication requirements.

Custom Wedge & Trapezoidal Cross Sections

For custom profile wire, the cross-sectional drawing is more important than a nominal diameter. Please specify the critical dimensions and tolerances before production.

Profile Parameter What to Specify
Overall Width Maximum width of the profile
Overall Height Finished profile height
Top Width Working or screen-surface width
Bottom Width Lower profile width
Side Angle Required taper angle
Corner Radius Radius or sharp-edge requirement
Critical Tolerance State dimensions requiring tighter control

Profile Wire Shape & Size Reference

SAKY STEEL also supplies other stainless steel profile-wire cross sections. The following table can be used as a general reference when comparing wedge wire with other shaped wires.

Profile Reference Max Size Reference Min Size
Flat Round Edge 10 × 2 mm 1 × 0.25 mm
Flat Square Edge 10 × 2 mm 1 × 0.25 mm
T-Section 12 × 5 mm 2 × 1 mm
D-Section 12 × 5 mm 2 × 1 mm
Triangle 12 × 5 mm 2 × 1 mm
Wedge 12 × 5 mm 2 × 1 mm
Square 7 × 7 mm 0.05 × 0.05 mm

304 vs 316 Stainless Steel Wedge Profile Wire

Grade Main Characteristic Typical Selection
304 Good general corrosion resistance and economical material selection General screening, filtration and industrial components
316 Improved corrosion resistance for chloride-containing and more aggressive environments Water treatment, chemical processing, marine and demanding filtration systems

Profile Wire Manufacturing & Dimensional Control

Wedge and trapezoidal profile wire is produced according to the required cross-sectional geometry. Cold drawing and controlled forming are used to obtain the specified width, height, taper and surface condition.

Stainless Steel Wire → Profile Forming / Cold Drawing → Annealing When Required → Sizing → Surface Finishing → Dimensional Inspection → Packing

For precision profiles, dimensional tolerances should be agreed according to the customer's drawing. Critical dimensions such as top width, profile height and taper should be clearly marked before production.

Inspection & Quality Control

Inspection Item Purpose
Material Verification Confirm stainless steel grade and material traceability
Profile Dimensions Check width, height, top/bottom dimensions and cross-sectional geometry
Tolerance Inspection Verify critical dimensions according to the approved drawing
Surface Inspection Check bright or smooth surface condition and visible defects
Coil / Length Inspection Verify delivery form, coil condition or straight-length requirement
Documentation MTC and agreed dimensional inspection documents as required

Applications of Stainless Steel Wedge Profile Wire

Wedge profile wire is mainly used as a shaped component for screens and filtration systems rather than as ordinary round stainless steel wire.

Wedge Wire Screens Working profile for screen panels Filter Elements Industrial filtration components Screen Cylinders Cylindrical screen assemblies
Water Treatment Screening and separation systems Mining Screening and classification equipment Process Filtration Industrial separation components

Stainless Steel Profile Wire Packaging

Profile wire is packed according to section size, coil weight, surface condition and transportation requirements. Identification labels can be added for material grade, dimensions and batch traceability.

•  Coiled profile wire with protective wrapping.
•  Coils secured to pallets for handling and shipment.
•  Surface protection according to customer requirements.
•  Material grade, profile size and batch identification labels.
•  Additional export protection for international transportation when required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is stainless steel wedge profile wire?

It is a shaped stainless steel wire with a tapered wedge or trapezoidal cross section, commonly used to manufacture wedge wire screens and filtration components.

Can custom trapezoidal profiles be produced?

Yes. Custom width, height, top width, bottom width, taper and radius can be reviewed according to the customer's cross-sectional drawing.

What wedge profile sizes are available?

Existing SAKY STEEL profile-wire references include wedge sections from approximately 2 × 1 mm up to 12 × 5 mm. Other sizes should be confirmed according to profile geometry and production feasibility.

Should I choose 304 or 316 wedge wire?

304 is suitable for many general industrial applications, while 316 is commonly selected for more corrosive, chloride-containing, chemical or water-treatment environments.

Can profile wire be supplied in coils?

Yes. Coil, spool or straight-length supply can be reviewed according to the profile dimensions and downstream manufacturing process.
