STAINLESS STEEL WIRE FOR CONVEYOR WIRE MESH EXCELLENT IN STRESS CORROSION CRACKING RESISTANCE, REDUCED IN THERMAL DEFORMATION AND HAVING MAGNETIZABILITY, AND CONVEYOR WIRE MESH USING THE SAME

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a stainless steel wire for a conveyor wire mesh which is excellent in stress corrosion cracking resistance, is reduced in thermal deformation and has magnetizability and to provide a conveyor wire mesh using the stainless steel wire. SOLUTION: In this stainless steel wire material for the conveyor wire mesh, a maximum surface roughness Rmax is ≤10 μm, a mean surface roughness Ra is ≤1.0 μm, and a tensile strength TS is 500 to 1,000 N/mm2by subjecting a stainless steel wire material containing, by weight%, 0.003 to 0.05% C, 10.5 to 18.0% Cr, 0.03 to 0.04% Nb, and further, containing one or more kinds of 0.1 to 0.8% N. 0.01 to 0.5% Ti, and composed of the balance Fe and substantially inevitable impurities to cold drawing working and heat teatment.
