What is Nickel Mesh

Introduction

Nickel Wire Mesh is made of high purity nickel wire. It has outstanding resistance to acids and alkalis.

Material

Pure nickel: N2, N4, N6

Nickel alloy: 2080

Monel: Monel 400, Monel 600

Weave Type

Characteristics

1)  Good resistance to corrosion in acids and alkalis and is most useful under reducing conditions.

2)  Outstanding resistance to caustic alkalis up to and including the molten state.

3)  Virtually immune to inter granular attack above 315oC, chlorates must be kept to a minimum.

4)  In acid, alkaline and neutral salt solutions the material shows good resistance, but in oxidizing salt solutions severe attack will occur.

5)  Resistant to all dry gases at room temperature and in dry chlorine and hydrogen chloride may be used in temperatures up to 550oC.

6)  Resistance to mineral acids varies according to temperature and concentration and whether the solution is aerated or not. Corrosion resistance is better in de-aerated acid.

Application

Nickel Wire Mesh is widely used in corrosive environments as for filtration of liquid, gas, etc.
