Stainless Steel Wedge Profile Wire
Short Description:
Stainless Steel Wedge Profile Wire is a precision-shaped wire with wedge, trapezoidal or triangular cross-sections, widely used for wedge wire screens, filter elements, screen cylinders and industrial separation systems. SAKY STEEL supplies 304, 316 and 316L profile wire with customized cross-sectional dimensions, tolerances, surface conditions and coil or straight-length supply.
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.

|---|---|
| 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 |

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.
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.

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.
