Stainless steel retaining rings: wire VS strip

With over 60 years of experience in the fastener industry, BENERI SpA is a leading manufacturer of retaining rings and washers in metric and inch sizes. 

In today's article, we will focus on stainless steel retaining rings.

It stands to reason that stainless steel is a rather difficult material to process. Moreover, the various heat treatments – essential to achieving the right balance between hardness and elasticity – often compromise the aesthetic appearance of the finished product. Not satisfied with the quality of most rings available on the market, many international manufacturers and end-users have been turning to other solutions—claims BENERI SpA CEO Patrizia Bernabeo. Therefore, in recent years the Italy-based company has made a series of targeted investments, implementing a dedicated production process to further improve the quality and appearance of its stainless steel product portfolio.

As of today, the challenge has been successfully met. More and more companies from all over the world are choosing BENERI stainless steel products.
Numerous positive feedbacks come also from the marine and food industries, where martensitic and austenitic stainless steel rings are essential to withstand high temperatures and corrosion.
