AM 350 Stainless Steel Wire

Shaped, Flat, Square, Round, Fine Wire, Plated and Un-plated
AMS 5548, ASTM A693, MIL S 8840

AM 350 Alloy Description

AM 350® is a precipitation hardening chromium-nickel-molybdenum alloy. AM 350® brings together the strength of heat treatable martensitic grades with the corrosion resistance of some of the chromium nickel austenitic grades. Generally used in applications under 1000°F where a combination of strength and good corrosion resistance are required.

Applications

Bellows
Industrial cutters and knives
Gas turbine components

Additional Properties

Corrosion Resistance
Alloy AM 350® has a similar corrosion as some of the austenitic stainless steels. See NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers) for more information

Standard Wire Finishes
Extra Clean: Extra clean is also referred to as “bright annealed” or “bright annealed and cold rolled”
Grease (round wire only): Drawn in a heavy grease produces an “Ultra bright” finish for decorative applications
Soap (round wire only): Soap is used as a lubricant in the drawing process and is not removed. It acts as a lubricant during customer part forming operation. A soap finish is available in tempered products.
Plated: Many plating options are available.
∗Special finishes are available: Contact Ulbrich Wire Sales with special finish and plating requests.

Forms
Continuous Coils
Cut to lengths
Precision cutting
