Stainless Steel Wire Mesh

Stainless steel wire mesh, made from durable and corrosion-resistant stainless steel alloys such as 304, 316, or 316L, is used in a variety of applications. It comes in different mesh sizes and wire gauges, making it suitable for everything from industrial filtration and architectural features to food processing and security barriers. Its strength and ability to withstand harsh conditions make it ideal for both indoor and outdoor uses across multiple industries.

Material

• 304: Commonly used for its excellent resistance to corrosion and oxidation across various environments.
• 304L: A lower carbon version of 304, offering similar resistance with improved weldability and lower post-weld corrosion risk.
• 316: Includes molybdenum, enhancing chemical resistance, especially against solvents and in marine settings. Preferred for harsher environments.
• 316L: The low carbon form of 316, suitable for large welds to lower carbide precipitation risk.
• 310: Known for high-temperature resistance, ideal for heat treatments and high-temperature applications.
• 430: A budget-friendly ferritic steel, suitable for less corrosive applications.
• 317/317L: Molybdenum-enhanced for even better corrosion resistance than 316/316L, especially against acids.
• 321: Adds titanium to 304’s composition for stability at high temperatures, up to 900°C.
• 347: Stabilized with niobium and tantalum for use in high temperatures without chromium carbide formation.
• 309: Has higher corrosion and heat resistance than 304, used in furnace parts and heat exchangers.
• 410: A heat-treatable martensitic steel offering good strength and moderate corrosion resistance.
• 2205 Duplex: A strong duplex steel with excellent corrosion resistance, ideal for corrosive environments.
• 2507 Super Duplex: Superior in strength and corrosion resistance to 2205, for demanding conditions.
• 904L: A high-alloy, low carbon steel for severe corrosion environments, highly resistant to acid.
• 330: Provides great resistance to high-temperature oxidation and carburization, perfect for furnace and heat treatments.
• 410S: A less hardenable version of 410, with improved weldability and corrosion resistance.

Weaving Methods

• Plain Weave: Simplest form where warp and weft wires cross each other alternately, creating a mesh suitable for various filtering tasks due to its uniform wire size.
• Twill Weave: Weft or warp wires cross over and under two adjacent wires in a pattern, allowing for denser and stronger mesh. Ideal for fine filtration under higher pressure and thicker materials.
• Dutch Weave: A plain weave variant using thicker warp wires and thinner weft wires, producing a fine mesh on one side and coarse on the other. Excellently supports high flow rates and finer filtration.
• Twill Dutch Weave: Merges twill and Dutch weaves for even tighter filtration, perfect for precise separation needs in industries like chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
• Reverse Dutch Weave: Features closer and tighter weft wires compared to warp wires, creating a strong mesh for fine, high-precision filtration in demanding applications.
• Five Heddle Weave: Offers a smooth surface on one side and rough on the other, enhancing flow and filtration efficiency. Commonly used in pressure and vacuum filters for improved filtering rates.
