Mesh materials

Characteristics

Stainless steel 304

the basic stainless alloy commonly used for crimped wire mesh. It withstands outdoor exposure without rusting and resists oxidation at an elevated temperature up to 800 °C. 304 is used in industrial, commercial and domestic fields because of its good corrosion and heat resisting properties.

Stainless steel 304L

304L is very similar to 304, the difference being the reduced carbon content for better weaving and secondary welding characteristics.

Stainless steel 316

316 has better resistance to pitting corrosion where brines, sulphur-bearing water or halogen salts. A valuable property of 316 is high creep strength at elevated Temperatures.316 also possesses excellent mechanical and corrosion properties at sub-zero temperatures.

Stainless steel 316L

316L is almost similar to 316, the difference being the reduced carbon content for better wire mesh weaving and secondary welding characteristics.

Low carbon steel

It is a very popular metal that is commonly manufactured in wire mesh.It is a relatively low cost option and does not resist corrosion and will rust in most atmospheric conditions

Medium & high carbon steel

has a higher ratio of carbon to iron than low-carbon steel.With such a high carbon content, it is stronger and harder but less ductile than low-carbon steel.

Copper

Pure copper is ductile, malleable and has high thermal and electrical conductivity. It is popularly used as architectural & decorative applications.

Brass

Brass is soft and malleable and is attacked by ammonia and similar salts. The presence of zinc in brass crimped wire mesh is important because it provides added abrasion resistance and allows for higher tensile strengths;

Aluminum

It is lightweight, also corrosion resistant in most normal environments but will corrode quickly in the presence of alkaline solutions and hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acids.
