Features of Stainless Steel 330
- Stainless steel 330 is a Nickel, Chromium, Iron and Silicon alloy
- With the addition of silicon, alloy 330 shows enhanced carburization and oxidation resistance under temperatures up to 2100°F.
- This alloy intends to behave similarly under all ranges of temperature.
- This alloy can not be hardened by the heat treatments due to its firm composition.
- 330 steel wire has high strength and resistant to oxidation property which mke it worthy for choosing as industrial heating furnace components.

The high strength and hardness of 330 steel wire makes it tough to turn in the cold form therefore it requires large force values as compare to normal steel alloys and it provides high spring back. Moreover this alloy wire is easy to weld using GAW methods.
Applications of 330 Stainless Steel Round Bar
- Widely used in large temperature conditions where resistance to the mix effects of heat cycling and carburization are essential.
- 330 steel wire is used in a different furnace parts and gas turbines
- It is used in heat exchangers and ordinary heat treating devices.
- It is used in neutral and cyanide salt containers.
